It seems to do a search requests instantly after you type a key (ie. in the middle of entering a word). Not surprised this has load issues.

OP here: I switched the debounce to 1 second instead of 500ms, so that should fix a bit of the load problems.

I'll also scale the heroku dynos if it goes down again.
