2026-October-13 Service Incident

Last update
  1. resolvedOct 13 · 22:10 UTC

    The root cause of issue affecting our UI access in the EU-Central-1 is tied to an ongoing incident with one of our third-party infrastructure providers in the data center. While our team is keeping this incident ticket closed on our end, we are actively tracking the provider's ongoing investigation and will monitor performance closely.

2026-September-30 Service Incident

Last update
  1. postmortemOct 14 · 17:12 UTC

    Dates:

    Wednesday, September 30th 2026, 09:04 UTC - 10:49 UTC.

    What happened:

    Real Device Automated Tests experienced failure to start in the EU Central data center, with error rates reaching up to 25%.

    Why it happened:

    A deployment led to increased cache misses and elevated load on the underlying infrastructure.

    How we fixed it:

    Service was restored by rolling back to a previous version.

    What we are doing to prevent it from happening again:

    Alternative caching strategies are being considered to increase effectiveness of the cache.

2026-September-28 Service Incident

Last update
  1. postmortemOct 2 · 19:15 UTC

    Dates:

    Monday, September 28th 2026, 14:19 UTC - 16:52 UTC.

    What happened:

    Real device tests in US West hung and failed to output test artifacts due to slow uploads.

    Why it happened:

    A degraded interconnect link suffered high packet loss from optical errors, but BGP stayed up, preventing automatic failover to healthy paths.

    How we fixed it:

    Manually disabled the degraded port on the edge router, forcing traffic onto healthy alternate interconnects.

    What we are doing to prevent it from happening again:

    Automating link draining based on CRC error thresholds, improving protocols for isolating flapping vendor links, and hardening upload resilience.

2026-September-23 Service Incident

Last update
  1. postmortemOct 21 · 17:00 UTC

    Dates:

    Wednesday, September 23rd 2026, 12:05 UTC - 12:35 UTC.

    What happened:

    Virtual Device Cloud testing availability gradually decreased in the US-West-1 data center.

    Why it happened:

    A product defect was introduced causing Virtual Device Cloud testing sessions to fail to start.

    How we fixed it:

    Rollback to a stable version.

    What we are doing to prevent it from happening again:

    Strengthen pre-deployment validation and reassess configuration rollout strategies.

2026-September-16 Service Incident

Last update
  1. postmortemOct 26 · 16:30 UTC

    Dates:

    Wednesday, September 16th 2026, 09:51 UTC - 10:35 UTC.

    What happened:

    Multiple Sauce Labs services availability gradually decreased in the US-West-1 data center. The affected services included:

    • Authentication (sign-in, SSO, existing sessions, and sign-up)

    • Virtual Device Cloud (VDC)

    • Real Device Cloud (RDC)

    • Sauce Connect

    • REST API

    • App Storage

    • Insights

    • Sauce Visual

    • Test Composer

    • User and Team Management

    • Billing Plans and Usage API

    Why it happened:

    A deployment of the Authentication service triggered an unexpected surge in database connections, causing authentication failures and disrupting multiple Sauce Labs services.

    How we fixed it:

    Restarted the affected database node.

    What we are doing to prevent it from happening again:

    Improve rollout strategies, connection lifecycle management, failover mechanisms, and health check responsiveness.
