Increased 503s for the npmjs.com website
Incident Report for npm
Resolved
A blip on a package metadata box left zombie connections on a DB box, consuming needed connections & causing 503s on the website. The old connections have been flushed and the service appears to have recovered.

Monitoring
The server that failed came back online and we were able to reconstitute the services backing the npmjs.com website to mitigate the cause of the 503s. We are currently monitoring the situation.
