I am not trying to complain... but I am suprised that even data from Shopzilla is not as good as we previously thought it should have been.

For example we have thousands of invalid UPC, we found thousands of manufacturer part numbers entered as UPC, we found too many data values crossed or just filled-in using other fields.

Basicaly it has been quite a nightmare trying to merge Shopzilla database with DataFeedFile's database so far.

Obviously my target beta date already passed but I just want to let everyone know we are very close of finishing. (should be within a few days only).

Thanks for your patience.

Dear All,

We have been making some changes in the last few days which may not be obvious on the front-end. These changes / improvements are:

1. Change web load balancer from Linux LVS to NGINX.
2. Remove PriceComparison.com traffic to separate T1 to free up more bandwidth.
3. Moving static contents (GIF,JPG,JS,CSS, etc) to separate web server.
4. Caching some pages which are constantly static output most of the time.
5. Use DB caching more extensively. We are still having some issue load
balancing SSL / HTTPS. I hope to resolve that today.

Why we are doing these improvements? To increase stability. To have better server response time. To accommodate more users. To prepare for Shopzilla data feed coming in only few days for beta testing on DFF.

Thank you for putting up with some minor glitches as we improve our system. We will always continue to improve and fix issues.

Update: 1:35 pm, The SSL/ HTTPS issue has been fixed. If you have login problem, please notify us. Thank you for your support and understanding.
