A new home for Feedgrab 🇫🇮
Feedgrab moved home this afternoon. It was previously sharing the same server as Pagecord in Germany, but today it has a server of its own, still with Hetzner but this time hosted in Helsinki, Finland! 🇫🇮
There's no specific reason for choosing Finland, other than I thought it sounded pretty cool as a location. Literally cool actually, given its far north location. According to a Hetzner press release, the Helsinki data centre also uses renewable energy to power and cool the data centre:
As with all of Hetzner’s locations, Data Center Park Helsinki uses cutting edge, innovative technology, and prides itself on the energy efficiency and high availability of its IT infrastructure. Plus, the company uses wind and hydro-based energy to power its entire Finnish operations.
There was a brief period of downtime while the database copied over but hopefully you won't have seen any disruption to your feeds and articles.
