we have installed openedx with tutor and we are making one edu-tech platform where it is using openedx apis and maintaining its own database at the same time on another django-project in docker.
our edu-tech django-project docker is communicating with openedx apis, and sometimes openedx returns 500 Internal Error while i calling /api/courseware/sequence/{{block_key}} api.
then i traced the exception from tutor local lms logs,
this is exception made by openedx-lms.
NOTE: It happens only sometimes

So what i did is following:
- i installed openedx with tutor ubuntu server.
- i made one seperate django-projcet and hosted in docker on same server.
- that seperate django-project is calling apis of openedx one of the api its calling is this
/api/courseware/sequence/{{block}}. - its calling this api very frequently.
- a lot of times it returns 200 response but sometimes it returns 500 internal error(from openedx side above shown is exception of that).
