Code Spaces rolls out the first major update of 2012

This weekend’s update marks the first of many major improvements planned for Code Spaces since being adopted by AbleBots. We have big plans in store for Code Spaces, and I’d like to take a moment to tell you what we got started with.

Subversion 1.7

Code Spaces now has full support for SVN 1.7, allowing you to take advantages of it’s new features. A request we frequently get from CS users is the ability to export your SVN repository on demand. In addition to the realtime backups CS currently offers, 1.7 users can take advantage of the new SVNRDUMP utility, which allows you to export your repo without requiring access to the remote server. Additionally, SVN PATCH was introduced to working along side of SVN DIFF for creating and applying patches.

Subversion 1.7 and various other updates

We are planning on rolling out a really big update the Code Spaces SVN backend before the new year, the exact date has not yet been decided however we will let you know as soon as we know.

The update consists of:

  • Subversion 1.7 Support.
  • New notification service for Subversion Commits.
  • Quicker authentication system.
  • IP address based whitelists for Extra Security.
  • Recurring Billing.
  • Various Bug Fixes.
  • News Letters

Subversion 1.7 Support

Once we roll out this update any new repositories you create will be served by version 1.7 of the Subversion Server, any old repositories you have will remain on 1.6. To move a 1.6 repository to 1.7 there will be a “Upgrade Repository” feature that will move your repo from the 1.6 based infrastructure to our new 1.7 based infrastructure. The move will also represent a change in the repository URL so the existing scheme :

https://svn.codespaces.com/[YOUR_ACCOUNT]/[REPO_NAME]

will change to:

https://[YOUR_ACCOUNT].svn.codespaces.com/[REPO_NAME].

Importing your Subversion Repository

Quite often when you come to Code Spaces you will already have a Subversion repository, be it on your local infratructure or with another Subversion Hosting company.

What you need.

Before you can move your data in to our infrastucture you will need an SVN Dump of your existing repository, If you running your own SVN infrestructure you can do this with the svnadmin dump command as follows:

svnadmin dump repository_path > repository_name.dump

If you repository is hosted with a third party you will need to use the mechinism they have or raise a support ticket to get a SVN Dump of your data.

Amazon EC2 Outage (2011/04/21)

A day to remember!

It was an interesting day, at around 8:40 (GMT) we started getting notifications from our monitoring instruments that our database cluster was failing over, one node at a time.

Now this alone normally wouldn’t be a problem because we host with Amazon EC2 so new nodes should automatically be firing up and joining the cluster, thus keeping the cluster alive.

But it was no “Normal” day, and new nodes didn’t fire up and the cluster did go down.

About Amazon EC2

Its safe to say that Amazon EC2 is an amazing implementation of Cloud Computing and the mechanisms they have in place to allows companies like ours to scale, and stay up are the best i have seen in the past 12 years of working in and running internet companies.

Amazon allow us to create “instances”, these are VM running our own software stack. They allow us to create an infinite number of them, and we can switch them on and off again at will.

Amazon also have a storage solution called EBS (Elastic Block Storage) which allows us to provision virtual disks that can be attached and detached to instances at will.

For the last four years this system has given us ~99.9% uptime and has allowed us to scale to meet our customer demands.

Where are my backups?

From time to time we have customers who want to automate the download of backups.

We have an API that will expose the backup data (file locations, etc…) which will enable you to easilly automate this, and store the backups yourself.

The api is accessable by doing a HTTP GET to:

http://[YOUR_ACCOUNT].codespaces.com/api/backups.xml

or

http://[YOUR_ACCOUNT].codespaces.com/api/backups.json

As you can see the API will expose the backup data in XML or JSON format.

 

NOTE: you will need to pass your login credentials with the request.

Subversion for Visual Studio Developers

Subversion for Visual Studio Developers with AnkhSVN

Accessing Subversion repositories from Visual Studio is really easy with AnkhSVN (http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/). In this article I will illustrate just how easy it is to connect to a project in a Subversion repository and how to create a brand new project and add it to a Subversion Repository.

For this artical I’m using Visual Studio 2010 Professional however, the instructions are largely the same for all versions above 2003, I’m sure you will work it out ;-)

Installing AnkhSVN
Visit http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/ and download the latest version of AnkhSVN, for this article I have downloaded version 2.1 but the instructions will remain the same for a while.

More Disk space all round.

As of today we have Doubled the disk space on all our plans with the exception of the Mini plan which now has 4x the amount of disk space.

 

This is a reflection on the maturity of our infrastructure that we can now provide more resources to you at no extra cost, while maintaining our commitment to security and uptime.

 

The plans now look like this :

 

  • Mini : 1GB
  • MicroISV : 2GB
  • Small Team : 4GB
  • Large Team : 6GB
  • Enterprise : 20GB

 

Enjoy the extra space!

Q&A Site for CodeSpaces.com

We have set up a simple Questions and Answers site that will (ultimately) replace for Code Spaces forums.

 

Its inspired by StackOverflow and is powered by the wonderful open source platform Shapado (http://gitorious.org/shapado).

 

Why?

We are trying to become more vocal and active in the development community and we think a site like this will not only serve to help our customers but also to reach out to the development community at large, especially Git and Subversion users.

 

I hope you will sign up and help us make this a great resource.

Git Support!

Without any fireworks or drum rolls we rolled out our Git Support last night, and the early response has been amazing.

 

We are going to be creating some content over the coming days and weeks to provide as mush documentation and help for Git (and Code Spaces), but in the mean time please contact us if you have any questions?

 

As always all Plans have unlimited Git Repositories so “fill your boots”
