Well, today was a busy day for me. I cleaned up our servers on DigitalOcean which resulted in 2.5 hours of downtime and reduced the server bill by $500.
As you may know, DigitalOcean revamped their plans and pricing last year: techcrunch.com/2018/01/16/digitalocean-gives-you-… - which means you get more RAM and disk space for the same price. However, our MongoDB cluster was on a old pricing model and we just came to realise that we are paying more than its current price. So, I worked on migrating the Mongo cluster to the new model -- Basically upgraded the disk size, CPU and RAM at the same price. I also removed some unneeded servers (such as unneeded side projects, blockchain validator nodes etc) which further reduced the bill.
Todo for this week:
... And a bunch of tiny tasks. :)
