What was different about this DDoS attack vs the last one?
This is not a complaint, it's a legitimate question. I've had to issue multiple refunds this month due to DDoS attacks on the infrastructure lasting 5+ hours. With the last DDoS attack, we were told there was a 5 minute fix going forward. I know DDoS attacks can't be avoided really, but I'm wondering why the solution from the last time couldn't be used for this time around.
Is it a different kind of attack? I'm looking to learn how to prevent this kind of outage in the future, as I can't keep answering support tickets from the same customers about the same issues. They think there is something wrong with my app.
This is not an urgent ticket, so just respond when available and willing.

Working on the blog as we speak, we are still cautiously monitoring until we issue the final verdict on the occurances over the last few days.
but also, the last ddos was an attack on the api and didn’t effect services, this time its an attack on the EU proxy, different systems entirely
