I just pushed another major change to the servers, after spending the past week going through all of our logs around the 504/502 errors. Something that happened on every page is a connection to our elasticsearch server, which we use as a place to keep all of our user logs (so that the UAs can help you if something goes wrong).

The problem is that it sent singular requests on every page, and a single request every time you did something that was logged, which is basically anything that you do on the site.

Now we've taken it so that all of the logs on the site are moved to a temporary log storage on our end, and then bundled and sent to elastic search all at once every few minutes when there are enough of them.

This does two things:

1. Makes it so that every page doesn't connect to elastic search, opening precious connections that should be used for users connecting to the site.
2. Stores the logs in two places in the event there is a timeout, we should still have that information accessible to the UAs.

I just pushed this code, so I'll be watching it to see how it performs. As always, thank you for playing & happy Morostide! ?

I'm excited about this one! w00t w00t!
