ITN 3.0 New website roadmap

By Ian Foletto - Thursday, May 14, 2020 - 9:31:06 AM

Here's a quick provisional list of the roadmap to the new version of ITN.

Friday May 15th MD 64
Sunday May 17th MD 65
Between Monday May 18th and Wednesday May 20th creation old matches database
Wednesday May 20th MD 66: Old website will be "locked", it will be possible to see matches results for some hours but the database will be backed up right after the update and transferred to the new site, so no more inputs by users in the old site.
The hosting company will be given the input to proceed to ip switchover, so the dns will be updated with the new address. Process to change worldwide takes from a few hours to 12-15 hours, so during the European night the new site will start to appear.
Users will be unable to login anyway. Due to improved security and GDPR compliance, all users will be asked to provide consent, to be able to do so, everyone will have to reapply to the game, although their profile won't be deleted and it will be matched to the new login. So, for users nothing changes, just they have to apply again and fill the consent module. When they will be approved and they get in the site, everything will be like it was in the old site.
Thursday May 21st
A small squad of volunteers will be allowed in to help me find bugs, missing links or whatever error in the fresh copy of the official website.
I expect users to be allowed to login between the evening and Friday morning.
I will use the whole day to update the game engine to adapt to the new tables and columns that the new website brings with it, and for end of season tweaks.
Friday May 22nd
I will run some dummy updates to check everything is ok with the match engine. Due to these tests that could take the whole day, plus the fact that users probably lost the whole of Thursday, and that the official update could have some problems the first time, Friday night update will be run on Saturday morning.
Saturday May 23rd MD 1 of Season 38
Everything will be checked again after the update to see if everything went ok. Eventual fixes during the day.
Monday May 25th MD 2
Due to the update run on Saturday, Sunday's update will be ran on Monday.
After that normal dates are resumed.
