Unexpected outage

Closed | Jan 20, 2022 | 14:31 GMT+02:00

The issue has been resolved and closed.

An update that went to production during the morning (2022-01-20) included a new feature which under a heavy load caused database performance issues. It cascaded and caused performance issues which appeared to users as 504 Gateway Timeout or as a websocket connection error.

When the issue was identified actions were taken to resolve it as soon as possible.

We apologise for any inconvenience it might have caused and thank you for your patience and understanding.

Unexpected outages during maintenance

Closed | Nov 29, 2021 | 13:56 GMT+02:00

All Howspace workspaces have been operational since the last outage on Saturday.

Outages were caused by a flaw in automated instance health monitoring in a load balancer. It mistakenly identified some service instances as not functional based on erroneous reasoning. This alone was not enough to
cause outages, but a new deployment happening at the same time caused the load balancer to deduce there was no healthy instances left to serve client requests.

The root cause is now fixed, and similar issues should not happen again.
