Report: "Issue affecting availability of session information in US-East-1"

Last update
postmortem

### Affected Systems and Regions On March 3, 2025, we experienced a temporary service slowdown impacting the availability of session information in the US-East-1 region. The issue began at 13:19 UTC and was resolved by 15:15 UTC. The Data API and Reports API experienced delays and intermittent failures when returning session results. Authoring and Assessment APIs were unaffected with no data loss. ### Investigation We identified a recently introduced inefficient database query was causing unnecessary strain when handling extremely large data sets. This led to delayed responses to the Data API sessions endpoints. This further led to delays or unavailability in select reports via the Reports API. Additionally, some timeouts and safeguards that should have triggered earlier did not activate as expected. ### Resolution To quickly restore performance: * We optimized the affected queries, improving efficiency and reducing database load. * We scaled up the impacted systems to immediately process the backlog. * We fine-tuned system timeouts and connection limits to prevent similar issues in the future. Following these fixes, all services resumed normal operations. ### Prevention To prevent future occurrences: * We have permanently updated our database handling methods to ensure more efficient query execution. * We are enhancing automated monitoring to detect and respond to database slowdowns before they impact customers. We appreciate your patience and remain committed to delivering a seamless experience.

Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams will follow up with a post mortem once we have completed root cause analysis and finalised any next steps or preventative measures required. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

monitoring

As of 15:15 UTC, all services have been restored. All queued messages have been processed and session information should now be available. Users of the Learnosity Firehose service will still see slight delays as messages are sent out for recently processed events. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are continuing to actively investigate the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

investigating

As of 15:00 UTC, we are continuing to investigate the issue. Data and Reports API are still impacted. Assessment and Authoring APIs remain unaffected. Assessment submissions are being queued and will be processed as the system works through any backlog queue. Note that if the Data API or Reports API is used in a preliminary/synchronous assessment delivery workflow, this will likely have a knock-on affect when initializing assessments. Initializing any assessment API directly is unaffected at present. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are continuing to actively investigate the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

investigating

As of 14:00 UTC, we are still investigating an issue affecting the availability of session information in US-East-1.

Report: "Analytics APIs Experiencing Degraded Performance in US-East-1"

Last update
postmortem

**Affected Systems and Regions** On 2025-01-09, Learnosity experienced a brief partial outage affecting our analytics stacks, specifically the Reports API and Data API in the AMER region. The issue began at 13:30 UTC and was resolved at 14:06 UTC, lasting 36 minutes. All other API's were unaffected and there was no loss of data. **Investigation** We discovered that a large number of atypical, inefficient Data API queries requested by customers were taking too long to complete. This prevented other queries from running in a timely manner, creating a backlog. It was determined that an additional database index would significantly improve the response times of these types of queries. **Resolution** Immediately upon discovering this issue, the impacted database instances were successfully scaled up to ease the backlog of requests. The additional index was implemented and all remaining queries were processed quickly. Affected APIs returned to normal operations, and further monitoring ensured the issue was fully resolved. **Prevention** Following further testing, the new index is working well and has become a permanent part of the system. We are also adding new automated monitoring and regression testing to ensure similar requests perform as expected.

Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are actively investigating the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

Report: "Issue affecting authoring and specific kinds of assessments in U.S.-East-1"

Last update
postmortem

On 2024-04-30, Learnosity suffered a service interruption in the AMER \(US East-1\) region that affected a subset of customers. The incident began at 12:52 UTC and was resolved at 14:18 UTC, lasting 1 hour and 26 minutes.  We apologize for the impact that this had on our valued customers and learners.  We have learned, and will continue to learn, from this incident and have taken steps to ensure this issue doesn’t repeat. **Details of Incident** Performance issues were initially detected by our Site Reliability Engineering team, who executed our escalation process in raising Tier1 and subsequently Tier2 in short order. While assessment and authoring load were typical, we saw a massive spike in Data API activity from a single client. This was limited to the **get\_/itembank** endpoints set typically used for authoring. The single client had never used these Data API endpoints before, went from zero to equal to all other clients combined in a short period of time. This is a particularly laborious query necessary for authoring use. Calling this at such a high volume and frequency created a hotspot and contention on the cluster of four itembank delivery databases, which handle a subset of customers. When we’re under high volume of typical traffic we operate on about 30% peak database load. The atypical traffic outlined above put the databases at full capacity. While all of our assessment critical systems auto scale, the itembank delivery databases are over provisioned to have significant headroom, and as such don’t auto scale. Auto scaling of database instances can introduce a risk if anything goes wrong while scaling, and as such when designing the system our team determined manual scaling of these itembank delivery databases was the more reliable option. This atypical activity led to resource starvation of the Data API, with knock-on effects to the assessments stack. Data API impacts included limiting access to authoring and session data, as well as slowing down session scoring and follow-on dispatching of scoring events via Learnosity Firehose. During the incident, we experienced degraded performance with up to 30% of requests not succeeding. Assessment impacts included cases where the Data API was used in assessment delivery, and in some cases limited new initializations \(i.e. starting a test\). For the avoidance of doubt, all save and submit calls were successful without data loss. **Resolution** Once the atypical traffic was identified, temporary request rate limits were put in place to allow our remediation efforts to quickly scale to support the increased level of activity and process backlog. Once all services were again operating at optimal levels, the temporary request limits were removed. **Additional Analysis and Prevention** We are making the following changes as a result of this operational event, to prevent this from happening again. * We identified that the baseline rate limit configured for the itembank endpoints was not appropriate - and have reviewed and configured this appropriately. * We are reviewing improvements and resource allocations of the Data API to handle atypical usage patterns and increase resilience. * We are continuing to perform analysis to determine what other preventative measures are appropriate to implement.

resolved

As of 15:00 UTC, we are closing this incident as resolved. The availability and performance of the Data API and downstream systems in US-East-1 has been restored and operating correctly for 30 minutes. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams will follow up with a post mortem once we have completed root cause analysis and finalized any next steps or preventative measures required. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

monitoring

As of 14:30 UTC, we have addressed an issue primarily affecting Data API use. Error rate has reduced to zero, all newly submitted sessions are scoring immediately, and the backlog of sessions awaiting scoring is cleared. The Firehose service queue is clearing quickly dispatching information about recently scored sessions. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are continuing to actively investigate the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

investigating

As of 13:45 UTC, we are investigating an issue with the availability of authoring and assessment content in the US-East-1 region. This issue is also impacting analytics, with degraded performance of Reports and select Data API endpoints that require content, such as the Session Detail by Item report and Data API item bank and scoring endpoints. We will continue to update this incident as we learn more. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are continuing to actively investigate the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

investigating

We are currently experiencing an issue affecting the availability of newly authored and edited content. This is also having a ripple effect on assessments dynamically retrieving content, such as adaptive and on-the-fly assessments. We are investigating and will update this record as soon as we learn more.

Report: "Issue affecting Tag Hierarchies in the US-East-1 region"

Last update
resolved

As of 17:00 UTC, we've identified the problem affecting tag hierarchies and it is not an infrastructure/services issue. We've determined that an application-level bug limited to saving a newly edited hierarchy is the root cause and have raised a ticket for processing. All other API and backend functionality, including the use of existing tag hierarchies, remains operational. We are closing this incident and moving the focus to the software team. If you experience any issues with saving hierarchies please don't hesitate to raise a ticket with the Learnosity Support team and we will provide additional updates. Thank you.

investigating

As of 16:00 UTC, we are continuing to investigate an issue preventing updates to Tag Hierarchies. This issue is limited to the creation and editing of tag hierarchies. Only a small subset of reports that make use of this feature may be affected, and only when a change to a tag hierarchy is required. All other APIs, including reports that don't rely on hierarchy updates, remain operational. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are continuing to actively investigate the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

investigating

As of 14:30 UTC, we are investigating an issue preventing tag hierarchies from being created or updated in the US-East-1 Region. This only appears to affect new changes to tag hierarchies, so this should only impact the use of select reports that rely on this feature, and only when a newly created or updated hierarchy is required. Routine authoring and assessments are unaffected, as are reports and Data API use that don't rely on newly edited hierarchies. We're including tag-related reports in this update for visibility, but the Reports API remains operational and only a small subset of reports use tag heirarchies. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are actively investigating the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

Report: "Issues loading assessment content in AMER region"

Last update
postmortem

On 2023-12-13, Learnosity suffered a major outage that began at 13:22 UTC and was resolved at 18:29 UTC, lasting 5 hours and 7 minutes. Its primary impact was on the assessment stack in the AMER region, with partial impact to authoring and select analytics APIs due to the use of assessment functionality in some preview features. Initially, we thought this incident was a scaling issue because errors were linked to the creation of new virtual servers to meet daily traffic. However, we ultimately discovered that the problem was unrelated to scaling. The root cause was actually a faulty configuration management client, `salt v3006.5`. A [bug in the most recent version of Salt-stack](https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/65691), released at 2023-12-12 at 21:38, caused a failure in our `cloudinit` process when spawning new EC2 instances. From 13:05 PM UTC, as new instances were launched, the `salt` bug caused the new machines to fail a health check and fall into a loop of retried launches. **Resolution** Immediately after this discovery, we were able to hard code to a prior version of `salt`, removing the regression. New EC2 instances were successfully  provisioned and scaled to comfortably handle all traffic. All APIs returned to normal operations soon after. **Additional Analysis and Prevention** Upon further investigation, it was discovered that our system became vulnerable to the `salt` regression due to error handling dependencies. To facilitate fast and reliable scale up, our image build process is designed so that dependencies are pre-installed at build time, with only minor applicable config changes required at instantiation. Further investigation discovered that a prior fix for a build dependency issue inadvertently moved the installation of the affected `salt` package from _image build_ time to _instance launch_ time. This meant that the creation of new instances no longer relied on the original image version of `salt`, instead the newest `salt` version was installed during the scaling process.  We are making the following changes as a result of this operational event, to prevent this from happening again. * We are conducting a full review of the launch process to ensure there are no other unknown launch-time dependencies. * We are adding additional guard rails in the build process to catch any dependency regression at the imaging phase before production use.

resolved

As of 19:40 UTC, we've concluded one hour of active monitoring without additional issues. We will continue to keep an eye on everything but are now ready to call this incident resolved.

Report: "Investigating possible issue with saving student responses in US-East-1"

Last update
postmortem

On November 1, 2022, one of the four databases that persist student responses became unable to write an ID that ordered questions/responses in review and report modes only. The analytics features were potentially impacted by a maximum 25% of submitted sessions during the 2 hour and 9 minute duration of the incident and, because only a subset of those sessions used contributing features, only an estimated 1% to 3% of sessions were actually affected. No data was lost and only the order of displayed questions were temporarily changed. Immediately after discovery, we began testing remediation options and the safest and quickest way to address the issue was to reset the impacted ID, as it played no other role in processing the data. This was theoretically unable to affect a typical assessment because questions and responses are captured upon initialization within milliseconds. However, a very small number of sessions using deferred loading features \(such as sections and, in some cases, lazy loading or dynamically adding items via public method\) were impacted--only if the ID was reset both _after_ an initial batch of items were loaded and before a following batch of items were loaded. In this case, the sequential ids in the later batch were set to values lower than those in the earlier section batch, due to the reset. \(Using sections as an example, this caused section two to appear before section one in a report.\) To summarize, this issue was relevant only when all of the following applied: * customer was among a subset of customers using the US-East-1 region * sessions were among the 25% or less captured to the single affected shard * sessions were initialized for the first time during the incident window * sessions contained more than one section or deferred loading mechanism Additional long-term adjustments were made to prevent this issue from occurring again in the future. In addition to the immediate fix of resetting the ID, the review/reporting logic was improved to no longer require the ID for ordering questions/responses. As a result, all affected sessions were thereafter automatically displayed correctly without any need for rescoring or other alterations to the data.

resolved

As of 18:59 UTC, we have corrected the issue affecting the capture and persistence of some student responses. A single database was affected and our sharding process limited impact to 25% or less of active sessions only, for a subset of customers, in the US-East-1 region. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams will continue to monitor the situation for a further period to be sure errors no longer occur. We will further follow up with a post mortem once we have completed root cause analysis and finalised any next steps or preventative measures required. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

identified

As of 17:55 UTC, we have identified an issue with saving student responses in active sessions only, affecting a single shard in region US-East-1. We have elevated this to Partial outage for affected customers and are working to correct the issue.

Report: "Possible delays affecting the availability of session data in US-East-1 (VA) region"

Last update
postmortem

On November 29th 2022, our systems detected delays in available analytics data affecting the Live Activity Events API, Data API, and Reports API in the US-East-1 region. Investigation began immediately upon detection, leading to the discovery of a resource starvation in our api-events system. Requests to `events/lastevents` \(used internally by our Live Progress by Activity by User report\) encountered a function that ran for an extended period of time, leading to the exhaustion of select workers. This in turn led to starvation of api-data and api-reports resources. This siloed issue did not trigger autoscaling, but Learnosity manually scaled relevant EC2 instances to temporarily add workers, limiting the incident to 1 hour and 19 minutes from detection to remediation. Steps were taken to reduce the impact of extraneous calls to `events/lastevents` that result from malformed customer initializations, such as when enabling the Events API in assessment initialization requests when those assessments are not part of a Live Progress by Activity by User report. This errant use indiscriminately publishes live events even when the Live Progress by Activity by User report is not in use to receive them. As a further safeguard, a "wait for subscribe" feature is in testing to reduce extraneous events that fire in this edge case.

resolved

As of 3:10 UTC, a further 30 minutes of monitoring has confirmed that all delays affecting the availability of session data in the US-East-1 (VA) region have been eliminated and all functions are operating normally. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams will follow up with a post mortem once we have completed root cause analysis and finalised any next steps or preventative measures required.

monitoring

As of 2:40 UTC, availability of session data is fully restored, the message backlog has been eliminated, and load balancing is performing normally.

Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are actively investigating the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

Report: "Issue affecting scoring delays in US East 1 (VA)"

Last update
postmortem

An underlying storage system corruption, linked to a single row in the database table where _scoring errors_ are saved, caused delays in the asynchronous scoring queue. Prior to correction, queries run against this table could take anywhere from a partial second up to several seconds to complete, and this impact was compounded by an unusually high number of sessions scoring errors submitted at one time. Because this issue only surfaced when rare scoring errors were logged, it was not immediately detected. Originally, the number and size of RDS instances were increased to work through the scoring backlog but the queue cleared before this process could be completed. This led us to the fact that delays only occurred when errors were persisted, and led to the discovery, and deletion, of the problem table row. Additional measures have been put in place to monitor the write speed of errors, as well as session data, and the issue has not resurfaced since then.

resolved

As of 16:53 UTC, we have resolved the issue affecting scoring delays in the US East 1 (VA) region. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams will follow up with a post mortem once we have completed root cause analysis and finalized any next steps or preventative measures required. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Report: "Possible delays in ascynchronous scoring queue in US EAST 1"

Last update
postmortem

On November 9, 2021, asynchronous scoring delays affected a small subset of customers for 3.25 hours. \(94.24%, or 49.16 million, of scoring messages were processed in less than a second on November 9.\) This was caused by temporary database locks due to inefficient queries that processed unexpectedly large database operations \(joins and index creations\). Immediate resolution was achieved by increasing the number of database sync workers and AWS Relational Database Service instances to work through the scoring backlog. Ongoing work is continuing, as we analyze and improve database queries in the affected areas.
