Aeries Gradebook Sync


This past week the Aeries Grade Sync became very delayed due to unusually high traffic volumes with grade sync commands. We have since added computing capacity to help with the issue and all syncs are back to normal now. If you see that your Aeries gradebook is still missing some data, please reach out to us and we'll issue a Force Sync. 


Some notable changes we implemented:

  • Additional computing capacity to prevent this from happening again
  • Internal health monitoring for our team to know when surges in volume happen and to take preemptive measures
  • The force sync button is now deprecrated. Our goal is that all your grades should sync in realtime. Any delays to that are unacceptable and rather than you having to use a Force Sync button, you should reach out to support@ekadence.com instead and we will rectify the root issue.
