The list below is a summary of all updates, additions and fixes since the last update post. Features appearing in the post below may not necessarily be in their final state and may change in subsequent updates.

The past month has been interesting, the site had an outage lasting a week or so due to some issues with my Azure instance which microsoft managed to resolve fairly quickly. Some lessons have been learned though and all going well this should never happen again now. Otherwise work continues on the move to using an SQL database rather than CosmosDB, this has already allowed for a large number of improvements to be made, partly because of the database and partly as a result of reviewing some of the oldest bits of code.

  • Cartels model
  • AttackRecords model
