It works now, however, I don't know what was the reason of database problems.

we ran out of the maximum allowed mysql connections, when the daily backup job was running(because it locked highly contested tables).
For now I've doubled the max_connections, and we are planning to migrate the pecl site to a new vm (which also means using a more recent mysql version) and revisiting our backup policy would be required anyways.

It looks like this problem has cropped back up again. Site is currently showing "DB Error: connect failed", but 149.5.47.136 seems to be working fine.

it was the db backup script again locking the aggregated_package_stats indefinitely (when I killed it the SELECT /*!40001 SQL_NO_CACHE */ * FROM `aggregated_package_stats` query was running for more than 15 hours with the status of Writing to net).
unfortunatelly I wasn't around today, so next team please try pinging systems@ if this comes up, we have more than one person with access to that box.
