    If you are not using a storage robot, because you have a setup where you prefer to manually fetch our result files from our temporary urls, here are some good news:

    As of today, we store all temporary files on Amazon S3 for 30 days. This means even as we are shutting down and bringing on new machines, you will have 30 days to fetch your result files. Please note that the urls are not finalized until the assembly hits the ASSEMBLY_COMPLETED state, if you are fetching the urls before then, they may still point to their volatile locations on our machines.

    For those of you using a storage robot to export all assembly files, we do not keep those extra copies around. If you are not using a storage robot, and you would prefer us to not store your files for 30 days or at all, please contact us so we can figure this out.

    Hi everybody,

    the last few days have been crazy. As of today, we have processed 300.000 uploads, up from 250.000 only 7 days ago (!).

    Unfortunately there have been a few hickups along the way, causing our assemblies page to load very slowly, as well as a few failed assemblies that could have been avoided.

    This week we are working on resolving all those issues, as well as launching a few features focused on retrying failed steps and assemblies. Things are fairly smooth now, but please bear with us if there are any more problems this week.
