On May 14, 2014 we upgraded our SSL certificate to use SHA-256, the most widely supported SHA-2 hashing algorithm. SHA-2 was developed by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) to replace the aging SHA-1 hashing algorithm which may have mathematical weaknesses. NIST has recommended that SHA-1 not be used for digital signature generation after […]

Starting at around 2014-04-10 20:00 UTC (approximately 22 hours ago) we noticed elevated memory usage on our primary database server. While primary API services continue to operate normally, we have temporarily disabled recurring transaction processing. We are working diligently to pinpoint the problem and release memory to its normal level without the need for a […]

After months of planning, we’re excited to make the final cut over to our new hosting platform. This new platform is engineered to provide scalability and redundancy at every level. As we continue to grow, we’re excited to enhance performance, security and reliability for all CheddarGetter customers. As a result of the migration, we’ll be […]

As a preliminary step toward migration to an improved hosting platform, we’ll be experiencing a few seconds of scheduled downtime this Wednesday, between 12:00 and 13:00 UTC (7am-8am EDT/4am-5am PDT). We’re looking forward to this initial step in our larger migration project. We’ve been working behind the scenes for months developing a new hosting infrastructure. […]

By now you’ve all probably heard of the awesome project management site Trello. Which means that you should be more than familiar with The CheeseMap – our CheddarGetter development board. Want to know what we have in the works? Have input on one of our suggested features? Want to suggest some features of your own? […]

Never fear, because now it’s easier than ever to get CheddarGetter support – or just to reach out and say hi – on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, or Google+. If we were any more heroic we’d need capes.

We’ve talked about how fantastic Zapier is in the past (*Spoilers* You can use Zapier to integrate CheddarGetter with a phenomenal number of services), so as you can imagine it makes us pretty pumped to announce that those crazy kids are at it again. In honor of “the month of love”, they’re adding 28 new […]

Time Flies. Which is why we’re doing a look back on everything that we accomplished in 2013 on 1/31/14…but it’s never to late to give an update on what you may have missed, or a forecast of all of the awesome things we have in store for 2014! Here’s a rundown on what we accomplished […]

CheddarGetter has long been a proponent of bootstrapped startups. In every single planning meeting, we talk about our core customer base as being the startup. This has caused some degree of trouble for us when talking to larger customers, as they don’t understand how a company like ours can grow and sustain itself by catering […]

We’ve had two episodes of lengthy downtime in the past 60 days. Early this morning we were down for almost 3 hours. Back in February it was even longer at over 4 hours on the night of the 6th. Let me first be very clear: Any downtime at all is unacceptable, planned or otherwise. Our […]
