Hello Devs,
just a short update and some background about Gitlab issues today.
Over the week and in particular today the number of requests to our
GitLab instance
has grown steadily, it now receiving way more than doubled the number of
requests it
received last week.
We have tried to solve this by adjusting some GitLab/server settings to
deal with this
(rate limits, checking for spammy IPs, the works) but with little
success so far since it
seems that the requests are pretty distributed across their origins.
Given it's not garbage requests but for valid endpoints we assume it's
"just" crawlers
(likely driven by the AI hype) indexing our instance. But while this
isn't a DoS attack
in it's totality the effect similar and it's unclear when we will make
progress on improving
the situation.
Magnus is working towards resolving this issue and we will let you know.
Cheers
Andreas

Hello GHC devs,
we're seeing a lot of 502s at the moment, we're getting twice the rate
of requests than normal, I am investigating what is going on and
trying to fix this.
Best
Magnus
