Slow Server Response - BingBot Gone Wild
Greetings,
We experienced a period of slow server response this afternoon. The issue that led to this has been mitigated and we are continuing to monitor.
The source of the issue was crazy Bing Bot activity levels. Bing was generating gobs and gobs of traffic to our servers (60 requests per second and higher). We've implemented some changes to mitigate the traffic and we are working with Microsoft to ensure that the bot behaves more nicely in the future.
