High User Traffic Incident Retrospective - Thursday September 2, 2021

[MisterSignal]

Happened again with NFT sale, and minting is currently paused to deal with the bottleneck:

ICPuppies: Another NFT Event Overwhelmed the IC

Minting had to be paused about 80% of the way through, one of my transactions failed earlier than that, and it seems like burst traffic got the better of Entrepot’s subnet. Just wanted to make the team aware of this – Toniq Labs is doing the mint, so best to talk to them. There are going to be a zillion of these types of events, so hopefully the team can iterate some improvements on the bottleneck issue with burst traffic sooner rather than later.
