Report: "Backend servers rebooted"

Last update
resolved

This incident has been resolved.

monitoring

All sites are back up. We are continuing to monitor the situation.

monitoring

We are continuing to monitor for any further issues.

monitoring

The sites are recovering and we are currently prioritizing live sites so dev sites might take some time to recover. Thank for your patience!

identified

The source of these issues was a latent bug, which quickly scaled down to 0 than back up the backends. We've reverted the faulty deploy and we are waiting for the sites to recover.

identified

A set of cascading events led to backends being restarted. This in turn puts a heavy load on the git service. We are working on reducing the load on the git service so that the backends can be restarted.

Report: "Kubernetes clusters unexpected restart for wp-admin area"

Last update
resolved

Today's incident was caused by a combination of factors, as follows: 1. An upgrade to our API backend service has failed due to a large DB migration. That caused instances to no longer be recognized via the API. This happened despite our automatic Unit Tests and local testing procedures that are supposed to prevent this from happening. 2. While this deployment error happened, the old DB tables for the API were becoming unavailable. Because of that, the API was returning the default data for the docker image that was supposed to run on the GKE cluster for all sites. 3. The API returning an empty docker image caused a full network deployment for all sites on all clusters over GKE, causing wp-admin areas to restart with the "new" image. 4. The default image from wordpress-operator (https://github.com/presslabs/wordpress-operator) was used instead because none was specified by the API, which in turn was not working properly on the latest version of our infrastructure, throwing a Not Found error for wp-admin areas. 5. Since our Backend API service controls the entire GKE deployment process, being down didn't allow us to quickly revert the changes. We had to manually disable the deployment service and manually update the images for each site. Hence the delays in the recovery process. 6. At this point, the automatic deployment workflow is turned off for GKE clusters and we're still working on fully repairing the API backend servers. Most of them are now partially working in normal conditions. Going forward we'll be taking extra steps in our development/deployment process to prevent such issues from occurring again.

monitoring

The sites are now fully back online. We'll continue to monitor the status and we're gradually re-enabling cache flushing.

identified

We're working on getting the issue fixed ASAP.

Report: "Central Europe data servers under load"

monitoring

investigating

We are currently investigating a high spike in server load on one of our data servers inside of the EU Central cluster. WP-admin access in this region will see an increased load-time.

Report: "Gutenberg meta boxes overlap in Chrome 77"

Last update
resolved

We have prepared a patch for this bug, and it will be deployed on Monday alongside the WP 5.2.3 update. A maintenance window will be announced shortly.

identified

A bug was recently reported inside the Gutenberg editor which is affecting Chrome 77 users while editing pages and posts. We'll be trying to add a workaround for this until the official fix will be released. More details about this bug can be found here: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/17406
