It’s Aliiiiive!
The new addons.mozilla.org (AMO) is up and running through its first peak load time without major issues.

AMO deployment has been moved to the evening of Thursday, March 22nd. The next Firefox release conflicts with our planned AMO deployment date and it is not optimal to make infra changes during a release. We have had some excellent feedback reported, and we’ve made good use of our incubation period for the new... »

Remora update and plan
As morgamic wrote on Friday, the Remora team have all had a long 9 days trying to get the new version of AMO out the door and make all its improvements available to our users. As we discovered to our chagrin, our performance testing on the stage environment did not really map well... »
