Hi all,
Just an update regarding the recent server instability. While we have had one instance of a full hardware crash and new server has been ordered to address this issue, I have actually narrowed down the cause of the more recent and frequent issues to a Java implementation issue on the back-end.
For those with technical minds, it appears we are suffering from a Virtual Thread ‘pinning’ deadlock, which is something I learned was a thing at about 4am this morning! Oracle (the people who make Java) are fixing this issue in the next release of Java in March, however we can’t wait that long, so I have pulled Virtual Threading out of the Socket IO on the back-end for now and am hopeful this will address the issue in the short term.
I will of course keep you all updated with any further developments on this front,
Fhox
