UPDATE [SEPT 26 - 3:15PM EDT]
Full NLB logic (100% load) has now been running through the new pipeline for hours with zero signs of trouble during peak load hours for the platform.
The team plans on keeping it deployed at this point and they are planning a more technical breakdown of this for an announcement post next week.
Thank you all for following along, sorry that we hit a snag yesterday, and have a great weekend!
