Typical case of degraded mode of operation, I presume. That’s how well engineered systems should behave when they’re about to go down.

My guess is that this particular outage was caused due to a scaling constraint somewhere in the stack.

There are many ways systems can fail. Do you really feel as confident about your guess as your statement implies?

It was just a guess :)

Would be interesting to see the RCA if/when it’s published.
