Timeline

  1. Resolved · Jul 17, 17:09 UTC
    API and dashboard service is restored.
  2. Monitoring · Jul 17, 16:59 UTC
    We have increased the memory available to the API and are monitoring the performance and stability of the API and dashboard to confirm service is restored.
  3. Identified · Jul 17, 16:49 UTC
    We have identified the cause of the errors - a pattern of requests causing the application to run out of memory and crash - and are working to better handle this traffic pattern now.
  4. Investigating · Jul 17, 16:41 UTC
    We are aware that both our API and dashboard are returning errors. We are investigating the cause and will restore service as soon as possible.
