Essential database maintenance at 10:00 UTC on Saturday 17th October

At 10:00 UTC on Saturday 17th October we are carrying out essential database maintenance. Fiskl, or parts of it, will be unavailable for 60 minutes at most, and we expect it to be shorter.

Why this is happening

We had planned to do this work without any interruption. As we got closer, it became clear that some of it cannot be done safely while the platform is in use, so we will need to pause the system, or parts of it, for a short time. We are sorry for the short notice and for the inconvenience.

What this means for you

During the window you may not be able to open Fiskl or use parts of it. Depending on the stage of the work, some areas may be available while others are not.

Everything you have already saved is safe, and there is nothing you need to export or move beforehand. If you have a deadline that day, such as a filing or a payment run, we recommend doing it before 10:00 UTC or after 11:00 UTC.

How we are keeping disruption low

We have kept the work as short and as focused as we can, and we are only pausing the parts of the system that need it. We will bring everything back as soon as it has been checked.

What to do next

Nothing. We will update this post if the timing changes, and again once the work is complete.
