Discord is operating at full power and has been since my last update, so we are going to mark this incident as resolved.
The precipitating cause of today's problem was an issue that caused approximately 40 of our servers to go offline simultaneously -- these servers predominantly came from our database clusters.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate your patience as we worked to restore service this morning.

Identified
We are seeing some percentage of messages fail to send as we work out the last of the issues here, but the majority of users are back online and using Discord again. We will continue to work through the last issues here to get service back to 100%.

Update
It looks like there was some kind of power incident at Google, or other major issue. We saw dozens of our servers reboot at the exact same time, so we are currently doing a full system recovery for Discord.
