  4. postmortem Mar 01, 2023, 10:54 AM UTC

    We apologise for the increased 500 errors and timeouts experienced in the last 10 hours. We introduced a new index to our database which was partially built and resulted in an “invalid” state. This resulted in long running queries which blocked subsequent reads. We dropped the index, as well as blocking database processes, and are now recovered.
