Where do I start... Obviously we can put a load balancer in front - that of course just moves the single point of failure so you have to consider how...

In fact the incident on Sunday night filled the queues on all three machines so no amount of load balancing would have helped... Something was causing a significant leap in...

Big spikes (in the millions) in the number of index scans on `gpx_files`:  so as I would have guessed somebody was doing something stupid with GPS traces.

The problem seems to have been somebody fetching the point cloud for a large, complex area with JOSM where each query was timing our but JOSM just tried to fetch...

Didn't I say on IRC that I didn't think this was likely to be acceptable?

Well I don't think we should be encouraging users to manually dirty tiles at all, though that is obviously just my position.
