Tumblr lleva caído unas dieciocho horas. Algo bastante frecuente en esta plataforma, que se vuelve sospechosamente inestable justo en las horas más activas de las dos distintas partes del globo, y sobre todo los fines de semana, donde cuesta acceder al dashboard en determinadas ocasiones.
Es una lástima, porque el concepto Tumblr es muy interesante. Aunque su sistema acepta un alojamiento convencional de contenidos, la mayoría de sus usuarios parecen coincidir en lo práctico que resulta de cara a publicar imágenes o textos breves de manera inmediata. Lo micro gusta. Y es muy adictivo.Si Tumblr hubiera sido absorbido por Google, estoy seguro de que estos fallos se habrían solventado hace ya mucho tiempo, con la robustez que proporciona a cualquier empresa el respaldo de un gigante en el sector (ejem, Blogger). Según Silicon News, que a su vez recoge la información de Techcrunch, Tumblr se encuentra en pleno proceso de ampliación de capital, de modo que esta crisis parece ser sólo temporal y exclusivamente de carácter técnico.
Espero que así sea, y que sólo se trate de un cluster revoltoso, como afirman en ese mensaje tipo que tantas veces tenemos que aguantar los frustrados tumbleros, ese odioso "We´ll be back shortly".
Actualización, 7 de diciembre de 2010. El staff de Tumblr publica el siguiente comunicado en el dashboard de sus usuarios:
"Yesterday afternoon, during planned maintenance that was not intended to interrupt service, an issue arose that took down a critical database cluster. This brought down our entire network while our engineers worked feverishly to restore these databases and bring your blogs back online.
While you might feel like you’ve gotten used to seeing errors on Tumblr recently, know that this is absolutely unacceptable to our team, and unacceptable for a platform determined to be the best place in the world for your creative expression.
Frankly, keeping up with growth has presented more work than our small team was prepared for — with traffic now climbing more than 500M pageviews each month. But we are determined and focused on bringing our infrastructure well ahead of capacity as quickly as possible. We’ve nearly quadrupled our engineering team this month alone, and continue to distribute and enhance our architecture to be more resilient to failures like today’s.
We can’t apologize enough, nor can we thank you enough for putting up with these growing pains. We know how impossibly frustrating it is to see your work offline. But please always know that we truly care about your work as much as you do, and we have an incredibly capable team working incredibly hard to take good care of it.
Sorry we let you down today".
Que sí, pero mi blog sigue sin furular a pleno rendimiento.
