It’s time for a server upgrade. For two years a single server has hosted the bulk of our sites, including Joel on Software, although a second smaller server has made an appearance. Over the next few weeks there will be a massive upgrade, giving us six top of the line, state of the art servers at the Peer 1 colo downtown.
In the past I would have upgraded the system, installed it all, and written an article about it. And then people would have emailed me to suggest better ways to do things, but it would be too late.
So now for the first time ever, I’m going to publish a “live” article here. So far, I haven’t done anything. If you have any better suggestions for how to do things, it’s not too late for me to learn from your experience. As we go along, I might have a few questions for my readers who have experience with this stuff.
