There were two different issues: The first one was authentication service related, while the other one was storage server related.
A storage server is correctly where your data is stored while an application server is responsible for serving the data to the clients.
However, everything is connected so when a load distribution or bottleneck situation occurs it may have cascading and unpredictable consequences throughout the system with varying symptoms depending on the client and service you're using.
Furthermore, while an irregularity or disruption is ongoing and we are investigating the cause, we strive to provide up-to-date and accurate service alerts to you in a fluid situation where information may change quite quickly.
