BeeIMG's New Uploader BETA



For those who haven't followed our Twitter feed or visit our site for a while, BeeIMG's New Uploader page is live. Well, sort of. For a while we tested the page in Alpha but the page is in Beta stage now.


As for new features the front end is completely rewritten and unified. The current (old after a while) page was coded when the site was started, it haven't seen a major rewrite till now. that page was simple as it started, but when users requested new features they were added on the go, without a rewrite so the page was heavy, complex and slow for many users.


The current page will be kept in a separate URL as new page is backward compatible. The new page only uses only a few new back-end functions, which won't interfere with the old page.


As of the writing this article a new version(BETA1) of the page is currently in testing. It has a feedback form which anyone can use to submit your impressions, bugs, improvements about new the page easily. Also, it will have new code which will enable you to test uploading images via URL which is currently disabled due to the absence of a new back-end function.


A complete article detailing the changes and comparing the new and old pages will be written when the page is deployed to production.


also you can now earn the BETA badge when testing the new upload page.

Happy testing.

However the impact on the service was minimal and the maintenance on our CDG node affected our service as its where our databases is hosted. After the maintenance the db server had been moved to under performing hypervisor and started to slow down the site. We had to move the server again to a better server. Forward to December, one on of our free customers started hitting with lot of image view per second and this overloaded memory on AMS server and to redis node to fail. Making maters worse AMS server ran out of disk space. when a fail over to CDG happened the traffic overload that servers redis node and caused the service to fail. The site served 503 errors durin...

Recent Hiccups May 2016

We faced some blackouts recently, and it was because we got very popular in china. The images that was generating lot of traffic were violating our TOS, but as they were generating lot of traffic and I thought it was a good time to stress test our image delivery systems. At first we were handling the load fine. after some time our redis server start acting wired. the issue was with dumping the db to disk, but as the images were generating lot of data the redis server crashed. we started to migrate the all gif images to be served by our CDN while still collecting views data. but at some point our real time stats handling script started to fail due to redis connection issues. after that the data started to collect and the redis server crashed every time it was started. While all that was happening we noticed that our php front end started throwing errors. this was due the connectivity issues to our redis server. The image serving end do not use redis server and was not afflicted. its usi...
