The signup form definitely has some user experience fail in it. I give an email address and password, click the "sign-up" button, and... nothing. Absolutely nothing. No page load, no progress indicator, nothing. Pull up developer tools, turns out there is actually a POST going on behind the scenes, which is getting a 503. So, there's probably overloaded servers, but it should would be nice if that were exposed anywhere besides the developer console...

Yea. Just hit the limits of a single dyno in Heroku! :/ Issue should now be resolved.

  It's important: did the underlying problem get fixed (not displaying an error on a 503) or is it "resolved" only by throwing more hardware/resources at it?

    The problem was fixed - we found the root cause of API becoming unresponsive and returning 503 responses and then fixed the issue. The issue was to do with the averages endpoint re-calculating every time it was called, this ate up alot the resources on the dyno - we've cached this now so this no longer happens. It is still running on the same resources, no 'throwing' more anything at it at this point.
