Cligs Move Has Begun!

I’ve talked many times about the New Cligs System, this mythical entity that will be a much better version of Cligs that will fix all the downtime and bring a 1000 years of world peace.

Well it’s almost here! As I write this, the first data from the current system is being imported into the new system. The actual launch won’t be for a few more weeks, but it’s definitely started.

So what’s the moving plan? It’s like this:

• Finish the code and freeze development of new features. I have a shrinking to-do list and I’m working through it at a good pace.
• Import as much data as possible into the new system. The key bits of data to move now are:
  • User account data, so you can log in;
  • All of the cligs and their Right Clig (geotargeting) rules, so that the new system knows how to forward;
  • API keys.
• Switch the DNS so that the new system takes over from the current system. This switch will take a few days (there are tricks to hopefully make that go faster). During this time both systems will be working and there will be a very geeky way of keeping them in synch!
• Once the current system is no longer receiving requests, the analytics data will be moved as it’s a huge data set and it will need some processing to make it work fully in the new system. Yes, the analytics are much improved and so the current data needs to be transformed.
• When everything is moved and everything is sorted, the current system will be shut down.
