We’re hosting a Next.js app on Netlify and, based on our logs, we occasionally encounter 503 errors from our functions.
To investigate, we’ve set up a cron job to ping a simple API every minute to replicate the issue.
The API itself is very basic — it just returns a ‘Hello World’ message. Please see the code below:
NextJS: 12.3.x
Has anyone else experienced something similar or found any improvements by trying specific solutions? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
