On Nov 7, 12:55 AM GMT, we completed a full migration to Azure. The system was down for a few minutes, and up again, and now is pointing to Azure data center.  We’re running two instances of Web Role, one instance of Worker Role, utilizing Azure Blob heavily, as well as Queue.   In the near future, we’ll support Azure .NET Service to access our service.  Running on the cloud allows us to add more capacity easily, as demand increases.

As people woke up in East coast, it’s great to know that our customers didn’t know that we have switched, and in Asia, we had business as usual day (yes, we warned them a few days back before the big switch)  It was a great day!
