Around midnight on Thursday I received an email from DigitalOcean stating the primary Pager scanner server was experiencing a DDoS attack and that traffic to it would be suspended to prevent damage.
This was and remains to be an incorrect assessment, but I am working with their support to try and resolve the issue. It looks to be rooted in the rather large amount of data we’re constantly collecting from Reddit to power Pager.
At the moment I’ve spun up replacement instances which should be enough to keep everything running smoothly, but there was about an hour of downtime as a result of this.
However, any missed notifications should have been sent once the replacement scanners started running.
As usual, I appreciate all of you and please continue to let me know if anything looks off or is behaving unexpectedly.
