I used to live above the Wetherspoons, in the building next-door to the Angle; I don't miss the dunks pissing on my doorstep at closing time. I do miss how central and convenient i…

Likely to be a multi-threading issue; my bet is the cache client wasn't thread-safe. I've seen this in some apps before and the solution was to turn off multi-threading while we de…

I've seen issues with RDS after an update. We were seeing CPU max out; adding more readers didn't help, and in the end, we had to rebuild the entire cluster. This somehow fixed the…
