In this week's devlog Michi unveils the Orchestration update's release date and talks about server maintenance.

The upcoming Orchestration release (see release notes) will go live on Wednesday, November 11th. As usual with larger releases, we'll discount PRO purchases for a week, starting on the day of the release.
Most of the release preparations were already finished the previous week, so I had some time to work on maintenance. I briefly mentioned it in devlog #550: Prosperous Universe runs on a cluster of several servers, and the cluster obviously requires constant maintenance to keep everything up to date. For some parts, we have been relying on external tools that have been discontinued, forcing us to change a few things. Most notably, that is the pipeline we use to deploy Prosperous Universe to the cluster, the way the cluster manages HTTPS certificates and how it handles incoming traffic. I made the necessary changes, so all three items are now managed by us and up to date, and I removed the external tools completely. I also added more dashboards to our internal monitoring that will hopefully help us detect and solve future incidents.
I wish I had more to talk about this week, but I don't want to bore you with the technical details. This kind of work is just part of running a live-service game and has to be done from time to time :)
As always, we'd love to hear what you think: join us on Discord or the forums!
Happy trading!
