Search / download broken after Galaxy Update

Bug Report

SUMMARY

After the Galaxy update over the weekend, I can no longer download or search for roles on the command line.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Taking for example the role https://galaxy.ansible.com/EGI_Foundation/umd

ansible-galaxy install egi_foundation.umd
- downloading role 'umd', owned by egi_foundation
 [WARNING]: - egi_foundation.umd was NOT installed successfully: - sorry, egi_foundation.umd was not found on
https://galaxy.ansible.com.

ERROR! - you can use --ignore-errors to skip failed roles and finish processing the list.

EXPECTED RESULTS

I expected the command-line tool to find and download the role as per usual.

ACTUAL RESULTS

Further investigation shows that the API is simply not responding :

And I can bring it up on the search page pretty quickly too: https://galaxy.ansible.com/search?namespaces=foundation&keywords=umd&order_by=-relevance&page_size=10

Not clear on what the issue is. I can bring up the role in question here, without any issues or timeouts.
