version 262 / 2022-11-13

We have migrated Zealous to new real-time databases hosted in Europe (with no downtime!). This once-in-a-decade change speeds up loading time across Europe, gives us increased reliability (from 99.95% to 99.995% uptime on our servers), duplicates our data in two locations and allows us to build richer functionality (commenting and chat feature anyone?).
