### 2022-07-10 18:04 UTC: identified
This looks to be an issue with AWS where our Core API is located. We are investigating.

### 2022-07-10 18:24 UTC: identified
AWS have confirmed an outage in their EU-West-2 data center. We are monitoring and waiting on AWS to provide updates.

### 2022-07-10 19:51 UTC: identified
AWS are restoring services. We hope to have the API back up shortly.

### 2022-07-10 20:09 UTC: monitoring
The DB has recovered. API latency is high as our ECS cluster scales out.

### 2022-07-10 20:36 UTC: monitoring
We are still seeing issues with the ECS cluster scaling out correctly, again down to the recent AWS eu-west-2 outage. We are monitoring.
