676 successful tests (100%) to the `convert/pdf` endpoint seems to indicate the migration is going well.

Great news! The new servers are up and running (but we haven't changed the DNS yet). You can try with api.sbg.pdfshift.io and api.gra.pdfshift.io. Yes, we are on two distinct regions now, so one can catch fire ;)

PDFShift will run on two distinct regions and each region can handle the current load of what we serve at AWS ... TWICE! This should give us plenty of room for the next steps.

Now, what we'll do is first reach out to a few key users about this new infrastructure, and see how it operates. Then, in a few weeks, we'll start balancing the requests between AWS and OVH, and once we are sure the new code is working well, we'll stop AWS.

We've started migrating to OVH and updated the status page to reflect our servers with direct health checks : status.pdfshift.io (the grey bars are because the checks are new)

Half the processing servers were down Saturday because of an issue at OVH. This did not cause any issues at all on PDFShift because of the way it was built! (redundancy and performances).

Would you be interested in the challenges of growing an HTML to PDF conversion API? Great! We are looking to hire a VP of Growth at PDFShift. Reach out to us to share why you'd be a great fit, and we'll discuss this further :)

We had some issues caused by a script stopping one of our servers. With the redundancy we have, the IPs should have handled that, but some users still got problem accessing our API. So we updated how we accept incoming and dispatch requests across our network :) All is good now!

A new PDFShift is coming! 👀

We just released a new website! Pretty happy with the result. Our intention here was to focus more on the purpose of PDFShift, which is a technical tool. We also wanted to show to our visitors that we are a reliable service that is here for the long haul. Hope you'll like it!
