Hey, robot builders! We've got an exciting update that’s sure to supercharge your Synthiam experience. But first, we need a tiny bit of downtime to make it all happen.
🗓️ When?
April 23, 2025
Sometime between 9:00 PM and 11:00 PM Eastern Time
During this window, Synthiam servers will be briefly offline for just a few minutes while we flip the switch on a major server upgrade. It’s all part of keeping your robot builds powered with the fastest cloud possible!
Why the upgrade?
- ⚙️ We’ve outgrown our last primary server update from 2 years ago
- 💾 The current primary server is running low on space and needs a break
- 🧠 The new server has 4 Xeon CPUs and RAM boosted from 128GB → 512GB
- 🔁 We’re switching internal load balancer IPs and syncing to the cluster
- 🛡️ Going offline for a few minutes ensures zero data loss
While the Synthiam cloud is powered by a distributed cluster, our primary server is the master of sync—so this change is key to keeping everything tight and tidy.
We’ve already confirmed this with our commercial customers. This note is just a heads-up for our awesome DIY community.
What's next?
Once the upgrade is complete, expect blazing-fast cloud service response times and even smoother robot building.
Got concerns or questions about the downtime? Let us know! We’re always here to help.
⚡ Keep building awesome things,
— The Synthiam Team
We’re thrilled to report that the server migration was a total success - not a single byte left behind! The downtime was short, sweet, and just long enough to grab a snack.
Now that we’ve supercharged the cloud, you’ll notice faster performance, smoother syncing, and an even more powerful platform to level up your robot creations.
Thanks for riding the upgrade wave with us - your robots just got a performance boost without lifting a servo!
