Good people, thank you all. The migration is done to AWS and tekedia loads far better now. We have reduced loading time from 58 seconds to 4 seconds. Team is monitoring all. They will make the call on stability after this migration.

Let me thank those that have subscribed and those waiting for launch. We’re now above $650 pre-launch, excluding the payments in Nigeria, which team will tally after the holiday.

This is how it comes, like this one from Abiodun    

“Hi Ndubuisi, just sent 7000 for your new ebook Africa’s Sakanfo innovation”.

We may not wait for Tue 7am NY time to launch. I will ask team to hit the button once they confirm everything is stable. This is awesome.

As I note in the book Preface (you will read that soon), Tekedia/Linkedin is one of the places I get my real-time perspectives on global events, from real people. Without you all, I would not have done the book. Largely, the insights are shaped by you.

Here is the link for pre-launch and Table of Contents. . I am smiling here. Goodness for me, goodness for you. Have a great weekend.

My book is ready but team has noted that it will finish Tekedia migration to Amazon Web Services (AWS) tomorrow.  Backup had already been taken. This particular post will possibly be lost after the restoration (we will re-post via a new permalink post-restore); same goes for this and this. I am doing minor post updates until the site is fully migrated.

The decision to migrate to AWS is to ensure the best possible service on a subscription product. The book will go live on Tuesday before 7am New York time. I am very confident that all potential issues on AWS migration will be fixed by then.
