Runaway connection churn filled the database disk and took the platform down
A provider-quality filter switched itself on at its default date and emptied two selection pools, and our hosted proxy service began churning through short-lived connections faster than the database could serve them. For two days connections failed or stalled for many people while database storage grew with the churn, until on Oct 23 a logging fault filled the disk and the platform was down for 16 hours, then 6 more for the storage expansion. That evening the same churn jammed payment reservations, and for about five hours apps could find providers but not send traffic.
