Hi, Jens. Cloudant and Iris Couch run dissimilar software. It's a big clue that you have problems on both. Either you found a deep bug common to both (e.g. MochiWeb); or maybe they are independent failures; or maybe door number three.
You say there is sometimes a 503 and sometimes a drop. Is that across both services? Finally, while not doubting your symptoms at all, I must say in my experience, the "hosting" has very rarely been a contributing factor to a bug. It's basically CouchDB (or BigCouch) running on an x86_64 box. Anyway, if you want, contact me off-list and I can set up some pcap rules for your couch and we can investigate the captures.
