Addressing System Performance Issues and Connection Errors

Our engineering team identified and resolved system performance degradation and intermittent connection errors affecting the platform.

Root cause: We traced the issue to two contributing factors: a recurring processing delay causing periodic load spikes, and a separate network/database issue causing MySQL connection failures.

Resolution: We deployed an emergency fix to production addressing the connection timeouts and queue processing behaviour. We've also added safeguards on the database side to prevent connection exhaustion, and we're refining scheduler and connection pool management to improve resilience going forward.

Current status: The fix is live, and we're closely monitoring system performance and connection stability. We'll post an update if anything changes.
