A database disaster • page 3/9 • Lichess Feedback • lichess.org

Lichess seems very slow to me right now - engine analysis took a long time, engine won't load for me (could be my system for that). Related? My connection is fine.

DANG!

when i search in the username bar, normally after I type 3 letters it will show some usernames. Is it my computer issue or is it lichess issue and if so was it caused cause of this?

After this accident, at 6 pm Poland time, I checked the status of lichess, and it occured that I took part in few games of tournament out of my knowledge and of course I lost all (plus ca. 20 points), as I didn't make any move. How can You fix it?

Good job

Chill out buddy, drug fueled atheists didn't even notice brief blackout.

Today at 16:14 UTC, while performing routine maintenance on the main database server, I accidentally deleted everything. 3.2 terabytes of Lichess history, gone.

Fortunately, we made plans for this scenario, and we have a backup server that mirrors the main database, with one hour of delay.
Our sysadmin successfully restored the database from the backup, and Lichess is back online.

However, we lost 38 minutes of data, from 15:36 to 16:14 UTC. This includes games, account creations, and other activities.
Studies and puzzles are not affected, as they are stored in a separate database.

We're deeply sorry for the downtime and data loss.
And we're grateful for the hard work of our sysadmin, who saved the day, once again.

Can those 38 minutes be gotten back ever?
