Here's Why AFF Has Been Going Down (And How It Was Fixed)
Short answer: more servers!
Turned out that the servers were dead or dying (hardware fails - it happens) so I moved everything over to a bunch of new servers while getting a few new ones too (just to make sure it happens a little less). We went from three servers to seven so we've got a lot more redundancy now. It took around two weeks and one moment of "oh my god, AFF is printing gibberish!" but we're in good shape again.
