With only slight delays, the platform went back online from the new data centre at 04:45 this morning.

A big thank you to our technicians, Alex, Felix, Dominic and Oli - they worked flat out all night long. Thanks also to Maria, for extensively testing while simultaneously looking after the guys.

We all met in the office at midnight, armed with coffee, Red Bull buscuits and gummy bears - everything that we needed for the long night ahead.

As we knew, any number of things could go wrong with such a complicated move. What we hadn't reckoned with though, was a disruption to the internet in the Berlin region shortly after midnight. The internet, and therefore our server was not working properly for almost an hour.

So with a delay of an hour already behind us, things finally started to move. Not for long though - a problem with the nameserver meant that the DNS updates were delayed even further.

So because of all of these unavoidable problems, we are over the moon to have been able to stick to our original timetable. Things are, as far as we can see, running perfectly.

Despite tiredness, we will remain in front of our screens, making sure that all those nice green lights don't start flashing red.

Here are some late-night shots of the team:
