- postmortem Dec 11, 2024, 08:47 PM UTC
Root cause of the incident : Due to the high rate of incoming order requests, some compute resources became overloaded, prompting us to redirect traffic to other resources. However, the redirection process took some time, which caused orders to still be processed through the impacted resources, leading to failures.
