Identified

We have identified that our public replication endpoint at skimdb.npmjs.com is under heavy load due to organic traffic growth. We are moving to bigger hardware in the next 24 hours, which will result in a brief interruption in replication but all followers should recover automatically with no need for intervention.

We will update this incident once the migration is complete.
