Dear customers, a few minutes ago we received the message via e-mail that the network infrastructure of our data center operator myLOC/Mivitec has been compromised. For security reasons, the entire data center in Munich will be taken offline shortly so that no further damage can occur. According to the first analyses of the data center operator your customer data are NOT affected. However, our service will be unavailable shortly (approx. at 6:00 pm). We are in close contact with myLOC/Mivitec and will keep you informed as soon as we learn more.

investigating

We are experiencing networking issues that causes our infrastructure not to communicate with external world and doesn't let internal components talk to each other due to failed DNS resolution

Report: "Document processing degraded"

Last update

Report: "unplanned outage after maintenance window"

Last update
resolved

Towards the end of our planned maintenance tasks, we encountered a problem that caused a temporal storage cluster outage. The degradation of the storage cluster affected the document processing and resulted in an outage of our external services. We were able to overcome the failed upgrade and thus restore full functionality. We are deeply sorry for the unplanned outage and will test these kind of procedures even more thorough in the future.

Report: "document processing is delayed"

Last update
resolved

We worked through the backlog and the processing times are back to normal. We will continue the investigation into the issues that lead to this outage to improve our resiliency even further.

Last update
resolved

This incident has been resolved.

monitoring

The network is back and we are monitoring the situation closely.

investigating

We received notification from our datacenter provider that they need to perform a emergency maintenance on our internet infrastructure and this will lead to a few minutes of downtime for our external APIs. We are sorry for the short notice and will update the incident accordingly.

Report: "Datacenter network connection lost"

Last update
postmortem

Starting Friday around 15:00 we received alerts about reduced API availability and around 15:30 our entire external network was down. Our investigations quickly revealed that this outage is out of our immediate control and we contacted our datacenter provider for additional assistance. Looking from the outside it became clear that our network was no longer announced via BGP or that the routes kept changing. As we learned during the outage this was done by our provider as part of a DDoS mitigation which we fell victim to. Neither Gini nor our provider were the actual target but we were still affected and had to take countermeasures. After it became apparent, that redistributing the traffic alone will not stop the attack, our provider decided to use a number of scrubbing centres to remove the unwanted traffic and gain back control. The attack continued until Sunday morning but our services regained full stability from Saturday 03:30 onwards. We discussed additional options to reduce the time it took to fend off the attack and we and our datacenter provider will continue to optimise the procedures and tools.

resolved

This incident has been resolved.

monitoring

A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results.

investigating

API availability is impacted. We are in contact with our datacenter provider to understand what is happening. The problem seems to be BGP related.

Report: "Connectivity Issues between 00:53 and 02:39 (in total 19 minutes)"

Last update
resolved

We experienced some connectivity issues between 00:53 and 02:39 which resulted in a total downtime of 19 minutes. During that timeframe our APIs were not reachable and no documents could be accepted and processed. We are investigating the events that led to this outage and will provide updates accordingly.

Report: "API outage"

Last update
postmortem

Our production system was affected by an outage that lasted, with varying degrees of impact for our partners, from 25.11.2019 23:00 until 26.11.2019 03:15. **Document processing and API availability was seriously impacted until 01:15**. The initial outage was caused by a failure in one of our Kubernetes clusters. We operate a redundant control plane but this specific problem still resulted in a downtime of the Kubernetes API server. The API server is vital to the functionality of the cluster and without it the problem spread into wide parts of our infrastructure. After the API functionality was restored we needed longer than anticipated to identify, understand and fix a networking issue that was caused by the API outage in the first place. After the networking problems were fixed we finished the reactivation of affected data stores and databases to restore full service functionality. **No data was lost and all the documents that we accepted have been processed**. We strive to provide the best service and availability to our partners and customers and we didn’t live up to this goal. We already identified ways to circumvent similar issues in the future and we are already working on the implementation. Feel free to contact us at [technical-support@gini.net](mailto:technical-support@gini.net) if you have any questions about Gini or this outage.
