And it allows for reflection: How would our troubleshooting and alerting handle this? We had a similar haproxy session saturation problem a couple of month ago. By now, our alerting would pick this up within a minute and trigger alerts. Those include a runbook to resolve it. Our standard resolution would fail in a case like this, but I'm pretty sure we'd solve it in a second iteration.
