Merging the Mar 15 Wednesday thing in a bit. ~4:50pm if nothing weird comes up. just the ten-line deploy on the release schedule, pretty routine.

Message 000242 in historyDuring the March 15, 2023 production incident, Devon began investigating the logs.
Pagers just went off. prod, not staging. seeing a spike on API 500s and a bunch of customer jobs stuck in queue at the same time, which is a gross combo on a Wednesday at 5:30. Devon's digging through logs now. I'm pulling people back in even though half the team was already mentally out. if this is tied to the late deploy I'm gonna lose it -- we've been way too casual about late pushes. No clean read yet. bad enough that I told Jamie I'd be late. maybe very late.
