How would a drop in traffic bring a site down? That doesn‘t make any sense.

Could have been too aggressive in auto-scaling down?

Okay…i guess that could make sense. Maybe they scaled down agressively and then all the media attention generated a lot more traffic than anticipated.

Yeah there could be some large fluctuations up and down. Not my area of expertise though.
