FayerWayer Features Grooveshark, and the Servers Go Down..
March 30th, 2008 | by andrew wise |FayerWayer, one of the top Spanish technology blogs, did a feature on Grooveshark yesterday and it sent our servers down (for about 15 minutes) and also their servers for a similar period of time.
It turns out the reason our site went down wasn’t actually a server issue, our load was less than 50%, but rather we had a couple random bugs that were isolated when we had a couple thousand requests come through at once. After a couple tough minutes of troubleshooting, we had everything fixed and better than ever.
Now when I had been talking to Alexander Schek of FayerWayer about doing a story on us, he warned us that the story may get over 300 comments — 1500 comments later we’re extremely thankful for the coverage by Alex and look forward to working with him again.
For those of you who missed the post on Grooveshark, we have a bunch of shirts we’re giving away and if you’re interested, send an email to marketing@grooveshark.com. We just ask that you cover the cost of shipping it out to you–
