The GraphQL API is experiencing increased load and we are having difficulty keeping response times down. We are fully focused on getting this service back up just as soon as we can.

We have put in place some caching infrastructure. We will continue to monitor the API but at this point we are seeing all associated metrics behaving normally.

At this point we are in good shape. The API server is now behind Cloudflare's edge servers with an upgraded caching strategy. As a bonus, performance for cacheable queries will be a lot faster for anyone outside the U.S.
