Things seem to be stabilized again, but we're still taking a closer look into the root of the problems.

The increased traffic from Shopify (hard to say if it's a DDoS or Cyber Monday promotions) was related to our downtime earlier.

RT @Shopify: We are experiencing time-outs on some sites due to a DDOS attack. Our Operations Team is on the case and we will update soon.

Seems that one of our partner sites had a huge spike in traffic; we've got things back under control now.

Might be a slight bump here in Shopify services as we cut them over to a new server (though in theory it should only be about 30 seconds).

Finally cut over from our hand-rolled job queuing over to DelayedJob – should keep the server from being bogged down by too many imports

Related note: Shop.find([1, 2, 3]) and Shop.find_all_by_id([1, 2, 3]) aren't equivalent. The prior generates 3 queries while the latter 1.

If you're using our Ruby bindings and doing large incremental updates, upgrading to the just-released 0.3.1 gem is advised. Much faster now.
