I am using the amazon aws e2 to host a parse server database. It was working fine for the last couple of weeks, but today I got an error 503 saying: The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. My question is: is it because I'm using the free t2.micro tier and I have run out of quota? Or can there be some other problem? I just launched another instance and it seems to be working fine for now.
Have you set up a load balancer? Checkout Elastic Beanstalk, which manages EC2 instances to automatically spin servers up and down as your needs require it. Your server may have just crashed and nothign was set up to automatically redeploy it.
