Degraded Performance due to Render

Incident Report for Fera

Investigating

Description:
We observed degraded performance across multiple merchant dashboards. The issue was traced to excessive render operations triggered after a deploy, resulting in increased CPU usage and memory consumption. This caused slower API responses and intermittent timeouts for merchants interacting with review widgets and campaign dashboards.

Cause:
A newly introduced render routine was performing full re-renders on large datasets instead of using incremental updates. This caused blocking synchronous operations in the backend render queue, saturating CPU threads and memory, leading to system-wide latency.

Solution:
We are actively engaging with Render to investigate platform-side performance issues and identify optimizations. In parallel, we applied temporary mitigations on our side to reduce render load while awaiting their recommendations and fixes.
