### What happened:
Real Device Automated Tests experienced failure to start in the EU Central data center, with elevated error rates reaching nearly 100% for short periods of time.
### Why it happened:
A deployment led to increased cache misses and elevated load on the underlying infrastructure.
### How we fixed it:
Service was restored by restarting the application.
### What we are doing to prevent it from happening again:
Additional resources were allocated to reduce the likelihood of a recurrence in the short term.
In the long term, we will optimize the performance of resource intensive tasks and introduce dynamic scaling.
