Dear Users,
We have completed a rebalance and reallocation of resources on our search+api machines and restored its stability, but we'll be continuing to keep a close eye on things. We have resumed synchronization for the past hour with the database, and it is back in sync, and the search+api service is responding well. So we think the issues have been resolved and will be OK. The issue stemmed from our case API/search index being crowded on just 1 of our 2 servers causing it to not respond in a timely manner. I have spread the case index over the 2 machines and it is behaving significantly better now.
We're also going to be focusing on longer term fixes to address the underlying problem - and will keep you posted should anything require attention again.
Thanks for the quick feedback and alerts when issues did come up, and apologies again for the inconvenience.
Dan
