    We are seeing 500 server errors related to NGINX. We are investigating and monitoring.

    We are continuing to monitor for any further issues.

  3. monitoring May 16, 2018, 05:55 PM UTC

    We have restarted Nginx and all metrics are now nominal. We will investigate further, continue to monitor. We have an error message that most likely requires a small nginx.config change to prevent this happening in the future. Engineers were alerted within 1 minutes of the first 500 errors. Site was restored to health in approx 10 - 15 minutes. Sorry for this outage. Your friendly engineering team.
