Description

[Jean-Yves Perrier [:teoli]]

I (and several others) get a lot of Server Temporary Unavailable on MDN this morning. When not, it is awfully (and unusually) slow. And right now I can't login (never got the page reloaded at the end).

Example of page where this happens (though it looks like it is quite widespread, we got pinged on IRC by users): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/dashboards/revisions?locale=&user=&topic=&start_date=&end_date=&preceding_period=&page=2

I suspect this was due to some aggressive scraping by a scraper that ignored robots.txt.  We've taken some immediate steps to make this less painful and are looking at better long-term options to deal with this kind of "misbehavior".
