⚠️ Podverse is down for maintenance ⚠️

Sorry for the interruption. The app may be offline all day today :(

Our database has grown excessively over the past 3 weeks. We are investigating why, and also going forward with deploying an upgrade to our database, and changes that will shrink the size of our database going forward.

⚠️ UPDATE ⚠️

The app has been back online for about 12 hours, but our RSS parsers need to catch up to detect the new episodes we missed during the ~24 hour outage.

Also, our search feature is not working, as we have to wait for our search index operation to finish (eta 1-2hrs).

Sorry for the trouble everyone. The upside of this outage is we have made several improvements to our infrastructure while debugging. We'll post a more detailed update after all services are back online.

@podverse

@dave @steven are you aware of anything over the past 2-3 weeks that would have led to a surge in new feeds (and/or very large feeds) in Podcast Index?

We already had work scheduled this week to reduce the size of our db bloat, but now our database is just non-functional so we have to do it now. It's our problem to solve, but I'm curious if you're aware of a surge in feeds or giant spam feeds by chance in PI.

@mitch @podverse @dave they have been fighting spam feeds. You may have received them before Dave was able to delete them.
@podverse I hope my podcast doesn't get affect by this @nta
