Elevated error rates - 11/16 - Mitigated

We’ve confirmed that all systems are back to normal as of 2018/11/08 17:30 UTC. Our logs show the incident started on 2018/11/09 09:08 UTC and that during the 8 hours and 22 minutes that it took to resolve the issue, users have noticed elevated error rates.

  • Root Cause: The failure was due to background activity which caused cache invalidations
  • Chance of Re-occurrence: Low
  • Lessons Learned: We are working both minimizing resource-intensive activities in our post-deployment steps, and are also working targeting monitors specifically to detect post-deployment issues in the future.

We continue to investigate issues impacting several regions - West Europe, North and Central US. Root cause is not fully understood at this time, however we are progressing with the investigation on 1-2 hypothesis. The problem began at 8:45am UTC, was mitigated at 11:15, and recurred at 12:20pm UTC. We currently have no estimated time for resolution.
