    The response time of the application was very slow. Many calls lead to timeouts or corresponding error pages.

  2. postmortem Nov 20, 2019, 01:28 PM UTC

    The Frontify Self Service Application was overloaded due to an internal process which hammered an expensive internal API on the Frontify Self Service Application. I turns out that it called this API due to a misconfiguration. We fixed the configuration and additionally adjusted the process to avoid things like this in the future.
