Beta server downtime: workin’ on it
After setting up Monit to keep an eye on the beta server, we noticed that Monit would often restart the app for taking up too much memory, and restart so often that it would just give up and leave it off. That’s not good.
It looks like the beta app has a memory leak, meaning that, on each hit, the application consumes more and more memory, slowing things down on the whole system. We already tracked down and patched a big memory issue, but our tests show that there’s still something strange going on, and we’re actively working on it.
Good thing we’re catching this now, eh? ;)
