We discovered long running queries in our codebase that was causing our database to get into a bad state. We’ve improved the query performance by adding additional indexes so results are returned much more efficiently. We’ve also streamlined our process when adding new queries to maintain performance in the future. Lastly, we’re also looking into long term infrastructure improvements that can better distribute performance spikes.
We apologize for the inconvenience and we appreciate your patience while we resolved these issues.
