Gregory's ServerEverything is back to normal now. Yes, it was an attack, not legitimate traffic. No, we don't know who was behind it. I agree the timing with Twitter being down was unfortunate.

 Fastly and Datadog who both sponsor us by providing us a free service were instrumental in analyzing and mitigating the attack. Shout out to our own team as well, glad I don't have to do this alone anymore!
[DATA EXPUNGED]
  @Gargron Will there be a blog post detailing what and how it all happened, and list any IOCs, etc.?    @Gargron Are you not employing any sort of rate-limiting?    I still see this via US-CA-SJ: Error 403 Forbidden Error 54113 Varnish cache server   @Gargron I'm getting 403 errors trying to access the site - am I blocked then? I didn't do anything apart from try to load my timeline while you were down! |
@Gargron maybe the api team at twitter got reassigned to ddos attack mastodon
