Blocking Node.js event loop caused 76 daily restarts—26 commits later, zero

Developer DanielLockyer shares the outcome of 26 commits of performance work: instance restarts dropped from 76/day to zero. The root cause was a blocked Node.js event loop, which made instance health checks fail and killed the containers repeatedly—a useful reminder that container crashes can stem from event-loop blocking rather than application bugs.
