Dynalist is slow right now, we're looking into it

Quick update: We’re taking Dynalist down shortly so we can apply a permanent solution to fix the issue. At the current speed, we’re expecting about 10-20 minutes.

We will be releasing a post-mortem as soon as our team recovers from the 30+ hours of sleep-debt we’ve struggled through. Thanks again to everyone patiently following us here!

DL has gone from slow to “Bad Gateway” and completely unusable

We’re back!

Hey sorry we had to take it down so we can come back faster. It should be 100% back now!

I have been working on the same page, haven’t closed browser, however, it has still not synced/saved. I am unable to for a save with “save now”.

It might take a couple of minutes before the web-app restarts sync. I believe this was first implemented so that the web-app doesn’t accidentally DDOS the server to death when the server is already struggling, or has just been revived. Just remember not to close the page until it says “synced”!

Sorry again for the trouble, especially on a monday :frowning:

@Erica , @Shida

Seems everything is working fine now.
Thanks for support!!! We’re appreciated Your hard work.

Could You let us know what was the issue? Of course once rested :slight_smile:

and yea… Have a good sleep :slight_smile:

my web client says “sync now” for good 30 minutes now, or so… my mobile app does not reflect my desktop (web) client changes… :frowning:

not good!

I wonder if this was a mere coincidence or it was somehow related to workflowy problems https://status.workflowy.com/ - the same infrastructure?

both are on AWS

I don’t have this problem. Synced in a flash

pressing “Sync” calls HTTP Get that returns 200 OK immediately; however it doesn’t seem to save my latest changes - at least I cannot see them in the mobile app :frowning:

anyways, need to navigate home for today. All the best with fixing it, I hope my double export to HTML/OPML will save me

…additionally, when attempting to close Dynalist browser tab, got the messagebox “Do you want to leave this site? CHanges you made might not be saved”

I don’t have this issue. I double check now at seems ok for me. I also just did big changes and still sync was ok. After refresh page changes are saved.
One remark -> I dont use mobile or desktop app.

That was my first thought. Second was about this catastrophic flooding in USA, which means no power for some locations, but there are no reports about problems with AWS in recent hours. Will see, but that’s really weird.


Everything is working for me too, btw.

…yeah, so I’ve lost half a day worth of changes after reopening the browser tab. but seems to be syncing/saving OK now, after reopening the tab.

made backups in few formats before refreshing, hope it will restore tomorrow OK. no time to check today

all the best

Try restarting?

We’re (proudly) not on AWS :slight_smile:

Ooo that’s something new I believe :slight_smile: What You are using right now?
The info from Your website says it’s on AWS :slight_smile:

aa ok only files are saved there. OK :slight_smile:

Yes, exactly.

We run our own servers on DigitalOcean and we believe they’re more customizable that way :slight_smile:
