Over the past few months, my site (running on Rails 4 with Heroku) has not experienced any problems. Traffic was stable and response times below 500 ms.
By chance today, the response time has increased to 20,000 ms +.

When I look at my logs, I noticed that ActiveRecord takes an unusually long time to run SELECT DISTINCT COUNT. This, apparently, caused slow loads.
(5029.1ms) SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(DISTINCT "impressions"."session_hash") FROM "impressions" WHERE "impressions"."impressionable_id" = $1 AND "impressions"."impressionable_type" = $2 [["impressionable_id", 826], ["impressionable_type", "Article"]]
I want to say that this is caused by the gem of impressionism and my counting cache, which I use to display the number of articles, but I'm not sure.
Now I see this error in my logs for the first time:
PG::DuplicatePstatement: ERROR: prepared statement "a9" already exists
