Moving on over to Amazon S3
Hey everyone. If you've noticed over the past few days bad performance for your uploads, it's been addressed with this update.
Previously, token artwork and maps were stored on a webserver that held the files for the duration of a session to hand out to players. While it served its purpose initially, performance began to get very poor, with long upload times for maps and 3D models.
Now, the file handling is being done on Amazon's servers, and as a result, upload times have never been better. Not only that, but there's no more worry about running out of room, so files are held onto longer than just a single session. What this means is that once you use a piece of token art or map, it'll be cached indefinitely. Next time you load a game, or reuse that piece of artwork, you won't have to upload a thing. This results in a much faster, smoother, and better experience for everyone.
If something isn't working as expected, let me know!
