Periodic Bad Gateways

Open MelissaAutumn opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

ATN (well Cloudflare in this case) will display a 502 Bad Gateway with the host failing. This is probably caused by requests taking too long, and a refresh tends to clear it up.

It can be tricky to reproduce though. I've had it happen on search results, and extension details pages.

This happens frequently for me when attempting to visit ATN: image Refreshing the page does not always help. It also seems to be the source of some of the errors in: https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird.github.io/pull/3#issuecomment-1540168654

These should be a lot better since we've made some adjustments to the infrastructure. It's still going to happen sometimes with any queries that are particularly slow.

Any API calling should be error tolerant and have retries with exponential backoff, of course.
