Transloadit Blog

Yesterday afternoon, we unfortunately had an incident that lasted for approximately 90 minutes. This incident was caused by a bug that we placed into the system ourselves.

It has been a while since we mentioned tus, but there have been some cool developments and we would like to refresh your memory.

Since we started in 2009, Amazon S3 has been our primary way of doing file exports. At that time, the best Amazon CLI tool we could find was Tim Kay's aws utility. It was a low-dependency, fully-featured toolkit to do much of our AWS heavy lifting.

Just a quick note to celebrate that our brand new logo, which was crafted for us by Milan, has won the Envato Logo Competition with 145 votes!

Here's a quick note to let you know that we will be sponsoring two cool events this weekend (January 24/25): Static Showdown and Gopher Gala.

We are thrilled to announce a complete overhaul of our website and logo. It has been nearly a year in the making and we think it's a huge improvement over our previous "designs".

We would like to announce a change to the way signature authentication works. This change will become effective next Thursday, December 18 at 10 AM UTC.

Today, our team is excited to announce the launch of the official Transloadit Go SDK. If you are not familiar with Go, it is a really powerful open source language that is growing fast. Even though our API is written in Node.js, we have been happily using Go internally for scaling and system utilities. We are, therefore, always looking for more ways to leverage the power of this fun language.

Unfortunately, we've been having a few problems with our jQuery SDK these past two days. We are very sorry about that and sadly, we don't really have a better explanation to give other than human (i.e. my) failure. Fortunately, only a small subset of customers was affected (only those who were running jQuery SDK 2.6.1 in combination with our /file/filter Robot), but still, this is not on par with the quality you have come to expect from us.

A few customers have mentioned that our PNG optimization is sub-par. Even though we were already able to cut down the size of large PNGs by a factor of eight, these customers reported that dedicated services like TinyPNG and kraken.io were giving even better results, especially for smaller images.
