Scheduled Downtime for Rivals.com (Weekly testing through NSD)
In order to ensure that Rivals.com is prepared and more than stable for National Signing Day, our engineering team will put Rivals through a weekly series of stress tests. Every Wednesday evening, we'll push the Rivals system until it breaks, figure out what broke, fix it, and then get ready for the next week.
Every Wednesday, beginning this Wednesday (11/19), Rivals will experience up to five minutes of downtime between 10:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. PT.
Five minutes might sound like a long time, but it is the best way to ensure sure our legacy system will handle the massive amount of traffic Rivals generates on NSD.
