We're now able to appropriately scale workers to meet demands. We are through our main backlogs (including mail sends), and Sync run latencies have improved substantially. We are still continuing to see transient errors throughout Sync runs, mainly dealing with issues hitting our Redis instances, but the frequency of these errors is continuing to decrease.
