Today was a busy day of nothing.
A fantastic and fun day internally, but nothing to show for it.
I’ve made the final move today to go from the getimgaineai.com website to fianlly moving everything over to archesocial.com
This final move is a wonderful achievement and really brings the brand name all together. all of the social medias are all Arche Social. we have finally found cohesion.
Overall it went pretty smooth.
There were about 5 things to think about
-
In all of the API’s that I’m using I have to add the arche social domain to the URI redirects. This is great because it doesn’t break production at all. I can test everything out on archesocial.com without it affecting getimagineai.com
-
We have to add the arche social domain to our server. Railway really made this quick and easy because all i had to do was add the custom domain.
-
Change anything that was hardcoded from getimagineai.com and switch it to archesocial.com (another day we will have to remove about 100 hard coded links to archesocial.com and make them more dynamic. but I didnt want to waste another couple of hours fixing that. the main focus was making the transfer)
-
Update DNS to have almost identical configuration as the getimagineai.com configuration
-
switch the mailing system from using hello@getimagineai.com to hey@archesocial.com (this actually ended up taking the longest amount of time as for some reason, well it was probably DNS caching, it refused to acknowledge the change. Finally when I purged the cache, everything started sending and I received 5 emails at the same time.)
