My flight back home was cancelled, so I’m stuck in a hotel for awhile. I took the opportunity to migrate Graffitio over to Engine Yard. My tests are showing much better performance. More importantly, it appears to be stable. Hopefully it’ll hold up under peak traffic. I’d love to hear your experiences with the new server!

- graffitio: Release 7 has been approved by Apple. Look for it in the App Store soon.
- graffitio: @tekniks Rel 8 will be iPhone 3.0 OS only. 3.0 will be a free software upgrade from Apple for all existing iPhones and $9.99 for Touches.
- graffitio: ...and, I broke it. We'll be back up shortly.
- graffitio: Development has resumed. I'll be submitting 7.1 to Apple soon. Release 8 is going to be iPhone 3.0 only and will rock your socks off!
- graffitio: @MrMustard i noticed a bug last night, and since i was on a bus, i couldn't fix it, so i disabled them. they'll be back soon.
- graffitio: @tekniks it doesn't auto refresh. new messages are pushed to your phone. its much more efficient than hitting refresh in graffitio.
- graffitio: Infinite Chat Preview http://tinyurl.com/7owg2n
- graffitio: @justinkirscht indeed they are! its like aol circa 1994. i'm working on an app called infinite chat to better suit their needs.
- graffitio: @stoneh There's a few things I need to do in the database to get that working. I've just put it off, but I'll try to get it done for Rel8.
- graffitio: @MrMustard lots of bug fixes, plugged memory leaks, and performance improvements. oh, and an Edit button on the Followed screen.
looking good here in Japan
I was on it right after the switch and it was running smooth. When I posted it didn’t freeze or take too long and same for locating and finding walls. I guess Engine Yard is exactly what the app needed. Now only if Apple releases rel3 so everyone else can enjoy this app the way we do.
I was using the app before checking the blog and wondered why the app was so quick and stable. New server is awesome!!!
New server works awesome. Was able to create and post to new walls without a hitch. Sorry about your cancelled flight! Hope you make it home safely!
The new server seems to be working alright in Seattle. The load time is only about five/ten seconds before my walls come up… Still hoping that people out in Seattle are using this as much as I am. Apparently no one in my neighborhood is! :(
I can’t wait to see where we go from here- Release 4, here we come!
graffitio won’t locate me :/ so no posting on infinite wall :/
lovin the new speeds! Super reliable too!
Any rel4 feature news?
It’s quite a bit faster once the location is complete, and posting is also faster.
Great work!
The new server has made a huge difference in how responsive the app is. Thanks for the terrific improvement, and best wishes for soon and safe flight home.
