Document reports submitted over a 20-minute period on Aug 7th from 07:46 to 08:06 UTC experienced degraded turnaround times. A preceding large and sudden spike in traffic overwhelmed the resources available to an internal service. The on-call team manually scaled the service at 08:06 UTC, after which new reports were processed as normal. Impacted reports had been queued and were subsequently cleared by 08:19 UTC. The auto-scaling configuration of the offending service is being amended to prevent reoccurrence.
