I’m gonna guess the original version of this joke said “crashed” instead of “fell over”, cause then it would actually be ambiguous enough for the premise to work.
I use it to describe a variety of things, but usually it’s related to servers not being able to handle load rather than an outright crash, but I’m not strict about it. Laos balancer failures could be it, could also just be that something was really I efficient but wasn’t noticed until it went into production.

I use fell over to mean crashed all the time
Same, I thought it was used commonly too.
“Fell over”, to me, implies server load balancing.
“Failed over” does, I’ve never heard fell over mean anything but what’s described in the picture.
I have heard it before, albeit tongue-in-cheek. So, like the server can be “running”, it can also trip and fall over.

yeah i was thinking “down”.
Or a different language. To me, they’re the same word, so this pun would actually work properly.
