## Timeline of updates

- **resolved** 2022-03-08 21:01 UTC: Service is working as expected at this time. Engineering has root-caused this issue to a Google Cloud component called "Traffic Director" which is responsible for configuring our load balancing layer. In its malfunction, it caused our internal load balancing layer to not have a valid configuration, which caused a loss of availability of the API. Engineering took measures to remediate by moving to alternate proxy configuration that did not use traffic director. It took us a bit to switch to using a different load balancing topology, but we were able to do so to restore service before Traffic Director issues were resolved.
