Please see further details regarding the root cause of Saturdays Exchange outage below:

We had multiple failovers of the Exchange Bet Stream on Saturday, which caused a full snapshot to be sent out to our other downstream applications. One of these applications ran out of memory when trying to process the snapshot, causing long garbage collection, and leading to bet placement failures. To mitigate such problems, we are currently in the process of aggressively reducing & tuning memory usage across both the Bet Stream and our downstream applications.
