    Our backend utilizes caching to improve the performance. When the cache is used the backend connects to cluster of cache nodes (i.e. servers). As soon as the incident began we saw that the cluster reached outbound bandwidth limit and dropped request from our backend apps. To increase available bandwidth we tried to add more nodes to the cluster but the cluster did not response to the request. The hosting service we use did not show any errors and no new nodes were ever created. Finally we initiated cluster reboot which restarted all the nodes and the cluster began responding to requests from our backend apps.
