Why did zerodha crash today?

Today I wasn’t able to place order as kite kept showing an error message, also couldn’t access the console for placing IPO request.

It’s really frustrating as once you wait for the opportune time and think something like this screws up everything. It’s not the first time that such glitches have happened.

What is zerodha team doing to fix this issue?

@nithin, @siva kindly look into it so that such issues don’t arise again during the trading hours.

I stronlgy believe, It was not just zerodha. Upstox, prostocks and many other had problems. Looks like a glitch on exchanges similar to what happened on 21-Dec, wherein we never receive official statement as usual. Infact, orders were not getting executed, along with that, had severe selling pressure after UK market opened in gapup.
