Server Upgrade & Issues

While most of you use the app and look forward to upgrades on the client, a lot of work goes on the server to get the service to you. Here is quick snap shot of our stack

Over the last weekend we upgraded our server to handle more requests & information as we expand our sources. This week we had a few hickups that we noticed - a couple of simple coding errors at our end caused information to be aggregated slowly and delivered late to you.  These have been fixed. We are upgrading our internal status dashboard to catch these issues faster.

Our apologies for the issue & thanks for your patience. You can expect a detailed post on our tech stack from Rajat Upadhyaya, (@u_rajat) our technology head.
