5 mw server backends are down at this time it would seem. For about an hour. It is different between different cp servers also it looks like and fluctuating between 2 and 5 servers down at a time on a given server.

This will also need an IR then, too.

I've alerted @Owen in a Trust and Safety channel, as he can possibly alert @John via mobile.

Yes 100%

Looking at Grafana, the fact incident started several hours after deployment and the fact the service is fine right now, 100% unrelated

Lowering to high since it's OK now.

Some 502 and 503 on tuscriaturaswiki.

Some recent message is:
Error 503 Backend fetch failed, forwarded for 77.226.103.47, 127.0.0.1

Several "503 Bad gateway" incidents last hour. After refresh (F5) however the requested wikipage is displayed.

All The Tropes has been returning 502s and 503s consistently for the last four hours or so, and possibly longer (since at least approx. 8:30 AM 24 January EST).
