@vincent @manton Maybe you could [add a backend node](https://www.linode.com/docs/api/nodebalancers/#node-create) with the sole purpose of serving a friendly error message by setting its mode to `backup`? > If set to `backup`, this backend will only receive traffic if all `accept` nodes are down.

Continuing to fix bugs and tweak servers. If you want the technical summary: those “503” errors were when the load balancer decided an app server was error-ing, but it could sometimes take out all the app servers, even if they were fine. Lots of new traffic from Mastodon users.
