We have been able to remove the majority of the load from the database however we are seeing other issues causing intermittent outages.

We believe the intermittent outages should now be resolved after moving the web tier to a server more geographically practical with an improved connection. We are still seeing an increase in errors however believe this is related to the latency issues which are yet to be resolved.

Due to database capacity issues as a result of an earlier failure in one of our underlying components, there are intermittent outages due to the database being unable to take the extra load. We are working to mitigate this issue.
