Hi Benjamin and RhinosF1, in the meantime, you could also check out the coverage in the September edition of the Signpost: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2019-09-30/In_the_media
(I'm sure however that the Foundation's incident report <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation> will be more detailed and informative, in particular regarding any significant changes made to the traffic setup of Wikimedia sites and support obtained from third-party companies.)
