+# Maintenance mode
+
+> Despite our best efforts, systems sometimes require downtime for a variety of reasons. 
+
+Quote from [here](https://www.nrmitchi.com/2017/11/easy-maintenance-mode-in-kubernetes/)
+
+We use our maintenance mode for manual database backup and restore. Also we
+bring the database into maintenance mode for manual database migrations.
+
+## Deploy the service
+
+We prepared sample configuration, so you can simply run:
+```sh
+# in folder deployment/
+kubectl apply -f human-connection/maintenance
+```
+
+This will fire up a maintenance service.
+
+## Bring application into maintenance mode
+
+Now if you want to have a controlled downtime and you want to bring your
+application into maintenance mode, you can edit your global ingress server.
+
+E.g. in file `deployment/digital-ocean/https/ingress.yaml` change the following:
+```yaml
+...
+
+  - host: nitro-staging.human-connection.org
+    http:
+      paths:
+      - path: /
+        backend:
+          # serviceName: nitro-web
+          serviceName: maintenance
+          # servicePort: 3000
+          servicePort: 80
+```
+
+Then run ` kubectl apply -f deployment/digital-ocean/https/ingress.yaml`. If you
+want to deactivate the maintenance server, just undo the edit and apply the
+configuration again.
