FRCAPI API not responding?   
We're seeing the API alternate between timing out and throwing HTTP 500 errors.  Anyone else seeing the same?  The 
issues started about 8:50AM Eastern, right before matches started.

Yeah same here nothing is working. It sucks that we don't have the old way of gathering data to fall back on!

Re: FRCAPI API not responding?   
Matt and others at FIRST,

It's been 24 hours without any updates.  I understand everyone is probably (hopefully) busy there working on the problem
, but can you or someone please give us a quick status update?  Will the issues be resolved this weekend or should we be
 throwing in the towel on week 1 altogether?  Those of us with user-facing apps and websites are getting lots of angry 
emails about things not working and we'd like to be able to provide them something more than "FIRST's servers have 
failed and we don't know when they're going to fix their issues."

Also, for next week, I'm sure the community would be interested in hearing the details of what comes out of your failure
 analysis/post-mortem meeting.

Thanks,
Dave

Re: FRCAPI API not responding?   
Hi Dave,

I understand your frustration. We are working to resolve the issues with the API, but also must focus on supporting the 
events at the same time. 

The issue we are working through involves the data sync between the local computers at the events and our Azure database
 which is the data source for the event web pages and the API. 

Regards,
-Matt

Thanks for the update. Will the data from this week be eventually available once the API has been fixed?
