Why did Roblox go down for 3 days?

Roblox went down for three days in October 2021 due to a complex internal server issue, specifically a cascading failure caused by a bug in a core backend service called Consul, which was struggling under the load of the platform's increased server growth, not a sudden spike from the Chipotle promotion.
