Team Solution Software Server Move
The Team Solution Software system has been moved, we’re pleased to say. We chose PostgreSQL as the most appropriate data base for TSS, and installed that on the permanent server Tuesday. PostgreSQL is an enterprise class, powerful, open source relational database system. It has more than 15 years of active development and a proven architecture that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, data integrity, and correctness. As such, we deemed it the DB of choice for our system.
Following its installation, we moved Team Solution Software from the development platform to the permanent server, and have been verifying file validity since. While there remains some loose ends on the Clients and Contacts section of the system, all other components are in place. We’ll resume our testing once we’re certain of file integrity following the move, and will begin on interface modifications next week based upon our initial review and testing reported on earlier.
While technically we remain at Alpha, it’s sort of post-Alpha, pre-private Beta at the moment. While we had hoped to be at private Beta by August 15, we’re going to miss that internal milestone by probably 10 days, maybe 14, and we’ve actually caused that delay ourselves by adding in some features not part of the original system design.
It’s getting even more exciting now around here. We’ve a little ways to go, still, but we’re on the steep downside of software development now, and come September, we’ll be out in the sunshine with our public Beta.
