Hi @aperezdc - apparently disroot.org's Matrix is currently down because they've tried to use synpurge and everything exploded. I stumbled across the problem and am trying to take a look at what they did, but from a quick inspection it looks like synpurge assumes that the /purge API is synchronous? Whereas in practice since March and matrix-org/synapse@e48c7aa#diff-5193fb8c4513ad3edf300808e59a10b1 the API has been async and returns immediately. Therefore I'm wondering if synpurge is firing off a tonne of simultaneous purge requests which then melt the server
Relatedly, I'm also wondering what the point is of the reindex button, which I think has been used here - recreating all the indexes on the DB is presumably likely to slow things down massively?

feels like the blame might be on our side for switching it to be async in a backwards incompatible manner, assuming that's what's happened here. sorry :(
