Which is exactly what happened and we fixed it fairly quickly, within the SLA we offer to customers. So I'm happy.

I accept all of the humour on that point with a grin myself, though I must say its a nice problem to have. Thanks to everybody for reading and commenting.

2ndQuadrant is a large enough company that we have CTOs who write blogs and design stuff, we have other people who run blog websites and a variety of infrastructure, but mainly we have many dev and support staff helping customers.

The site is powered by Wordpress, which, to the best of my knowledge, can work only with MySQL. Now that is very meta.

I believe the blog site does run MySQL. We eat our own dogfood wherever possible, especially on important services... we hadn't regarded the blog site in the same category until now.

It can work with MariaDB as well, though it's just a Fork of MySQL so hard to say if that counts.
