forum.spatial.chat - a new place for our product announcements & more

Hi there, this is Almas from SpatialChat.

TL;DR; 

This AnnounceKit board with our product updates has moved to a new place - https://forum.spatial.chat. Product updates will be posted in the new "Info and Announcements" category on this forum.

Why?

Historically we found this AnnounceKit tool amazing, but there was also a Nolt board with Feature Suggestions from you (another service) and also an idea to launch community. These became too sparse, so we decided to unite all these things under new community forum.

In this community, we will share all product announcements, listen to your questions, suggestions, ideas, experience and general feedback regarding SpatialChat.

Although we could technically send you an invite straight from the forum, but this isn't what you & us agreed to, so I'm personally inviting you to join our community, hit the link below:

Incident report 04-22-2021

On April 22nd, 2021, some users experienced service downtime, which started at around 5:40 pm CET and lasted until 6:20 pm CET (11:40 am - 12:40 pm ET).

The cause of the problem

A DDoS attack caused this problem. Our engineering team saw this in our real-time monitoring systems and reacted immediately. 

How this affected some of our users 

There were spaces that users couldn't join due to server overload caused by this DDoS attack.

Our team resolved the issue in 40 minutes. 

Solution

The solution was to identify and block sources of malicious traffic as well as scale our backend infrastructure and improve load distribution to handle several times more requests than usual.

To avoid similar problems in the future, we've prioritized our work to address our systems' threat detection and scalability earlier than was previously scheduled.

Everyone who has been affected by this issue - we bring you our apology and commit to avoiding such problems in the future. Thank you for staying with us!
