Postmortem: threads_publisher container_create_failed incidents

Multiple ‘container_create_failed’ incidents were observed for the threads_publisher service. These errors indicated a failure to provision new containers for processing tasks. The issue was traced to resource contention caused by an unbounded number of Apache workers on a related system. Resolution involved bounding these workers, which restored normal container creation and service availability.
