The website and service outage has been resolved with a more robust load balancing policy, more server replicas, and a new replication policy. The issue was primarily fixed at 6:10 AM PST (2020-06-24).
Cause: High traffic consumed resources faster than the servers could process traffic. This resulted in servers slowing down further due to the backlog of requests. Solutions: Requests to the API server, including those for server-side rendering of the website, go through a load balancer that sends traffic to servers that have the most capacity. We also have deployed more server replicas to add more capacity, and adjusted the replication policy to scale based on memory usage.
