Incident Report for Glitch

We identified the cause of the failure and isolated it; we did not have any additional freeze in the last 4 days. Additional mitigations will take place in the following days to make sure we become more resilient to this kind of issues.

Investigating
Some component of our infrastructure is causing very high load on servers, leading one of them to eventually get stuck. At that point we have to terminate it, but then after a few hours the problem presents itself on a different server. The origin is probably a rogue project which triggers a side condition in our services.
