Agents, starting at 1730 UTC today (in approximately 1 hour), we will be doing some behind the scenes work on your scanners lasting approximately 60 minutes. While we do not expect downtime, you may experience staleness in changes or other sluggish behavior and it is possible some agents may have difficulty accessing their scanners.

new feature when ? :P
@ofer2 any insight what's happening? 🤔
I really like how you are notifying us about this now, especially via the TG channel. Is this sort of maintenance new or has it been going on for a while now and has been recently started to be communicated? Thanks for letting us know regardless!
While I’d of course love new features, I’d also be more than content with infrastructure changes. The long awaited New, faster game servers, more stable gameplay, etc. would be more than welcome
Definitely would like to hear an exact reason but, as with every other feature release, sometimes surprises are better :D
Hey all,
Thank you for your patience with the maintenance windows over the last few days. We’re working on some behind the scenes updates to our underlying infrastructure to improve overall performance and clean up some long standing infrastructural issues.
One of the top requirements for this maintenance was to have close to zero downtime. However, we wanted to make sure that agents were aware, just in case.
Thanks again for all your support!
For everyone who doesnt know, @NianticAndrew is a fellow engineer and is the one who is managing this upgrade. Welcome!
Is this "if things go wrong, blame this guy, not me"? 🤣
Welcome, @NianticAndrew !
What Niantic do in the maintenance. I hope they enable adventure sync from Pokémon GO. Take long time when Niantic do somthing with Ingress for exaple more 3D map from all portal scaning and new foture in Ingress Niantic talk about when Ingress Prime start or get online.
Love the transparency!
Thank you for the communication! Multiple thumbs up!
Good luck with the updates
How many Andrews existed/exists at this company??
As a backend dev myself I know how crucial it is to upgrade stuff and not sit on outdated or flawed solutions. I appreciate you making the upgrades. Working with newer stuff is always better not just for performance but for morale too ;)
Yay! Moar hamsters!
It's Andrews all the way down
Why are you not NianticOfer2? lol
We appreciate your insight and comments, as always.
Welcome, @NianticAndrew, although I think you have been around a few months at least.
😁
Interesting.
Does this mean that the switch for the servers to Lightship is happening?
He was renamed to NianticOfer for a short while here on the forums, but it was changed back after only a week or so
I hope new and good updates are coming 🤘
Each Andrew may be a simulacrum.
Also, thank you for the updates and keeping everyone informed about what is going on. It is greatly appreciated! The Telegram channel is extremely helpful.
