Is this the right place to ask this?
Sure! Our #wikimedia-cloud support channel on the Freenode IRC network is also a good place for this general class of question. You know that by now though as we talked there briefly.
I run the wikidata author-disambiguator - https://tools.wmflabs.org/author-disambiguator/ - and since a few hours ago it seems to be constantly freezing. I've restarted it 3 times today already. It runs ok for a few minutes, but then at some point when I try to connect it just hangs forever. I've waited up to 30 minutes on a page that should respond in seconds, and gotten nothing back.
Does this page have dependencies on file system access? databases? external api calls?
This has worked fine up until today. It's using the php7.2 kubernetes image - did something change very recently? Or was there some other recent cloud/tools change that could cause this?
There have been no major changes to the Kubernetes image or other Toolforge infrastructure that should affect PHP webservice performance. We did make some changes today to the ingress HTTPS server that handles routing requests for https://tools.wmflabs.org/<tool> to the backend Kubernetes pod or grid engine job. These changes should be transparent to you however. The change was adding in support for routing requests to pods running on a new Kubernetes cluster that folks will learn more about in early January.
