It's old decrepit code finally succumbing to the load which is placed on it. You have to keep in mind that the backend has never been properly designed, but grew organically over the years. In 2011-ish a rewrite was attempted, but that was front-end only... and it was halted because the underlying code base was still a mess and would not support things like mobile. From the looks of things finances were an issue too; and by the time a partial refactoring was affordable it was discovered that the chosen platform (Angular 1, I believe) had issues on mobile... which in part was the reason for turning to Angular in the first place. So progress is slow, and fraught with difficulties. Like outages.
