Report: "General Platform Outage"

Last update
postmortem

# **Technical Summary** At 14:14 ET on July 27, 2021 our systems reported an increase in latency to our primary database cluster due to an abnormal and significant increase in traffic. This increase outpaced our scaling capabilities, and resulted in a cascading failure that brought down the database cluster responsible for our Hub Platform. Recovery efforts were initiated quickly once the cause was identified, however a complication during recovery extended the outage. By 16:19 ET the Hub Platform was back online, and all systems were brought back to normal operation shortly thereafter. Remediation efforts on our infrastructure and product performance are underway to prevent a recurrence of this issue.

resolved

This incident has been resolved.

monitoring

A fix has now been implemented and operations are returning to normal. The team will continue to monitor and further updates will be posted here.

Report: "Intermittent Connectivity Issue"

postmortem

## What Happened On September 23rd, beginning around 9:30 AM EDT, we began to experience database performance problems which affected all parts of the Uberflip platform. As a result of these issues, customer Hubs and the Uberflip application backend were intermittently inaccessible for a period of approximately 14 minutes. We immediately took action to identify the cause of these issues. By 9:40 AM our systems began to recover, and by 9:44 AM the outage was fully resolved, with all parts of the Uberflip platform functioning normally once again. We sincerely apologize for the impact that this interruption in our service may have had on your business. Following a thorough examination of the causes of this issue, we would like to share with you what we have learned, and what steps we are taking to prevent it from happening again. ## What Caused the Issue Starting at around 9:25 AM, our servers suddenly began to receive an extremely high volume of traffic over a short amount of time. This unusual volume of requests caused the load on our primary database to exceed its capacity, at which point it failed over to our backup database. The backup database also rapidly reached its capacity limit, causing it to revert back to the primary database \(which had recovered in the interim\). As the abnormally high volume continued, this cycle repeated several times, with each database becoming overloaded, failing over, recovering, then becoming overloaded again and so forth. Each time the platform switched between the two databases, it took a few moments for all parts of the application to reconnect. At the same time, any requests in progress at the time of the switch were lost. Combined, these factors are what caused the intermittent inaccessibility and lack of responsiveness in the Uberflip application and customer Hubs. ## What We’ve Learned, and How We’re Responding As with all incidents that affect our platform and its reliability, we have performed a thorough investigation. Here’s what we’ve learned, and what we're doing to make sure it can't happen again. The root cause of this incident was a sudden, sustained increase in the amount of traffic to our platform. This traffic was highly unusual: it was significantly higher than the amount we would typically expect, ramped up almost instantly, and stopped just as suddenly. We've investigated the source of this traffic, and have determined that there was probably no malicious intent behind it. Given that this kind of anomalous traffic would not occur organically, we believe this should be a very rare occurrence. Nonetheless, we are of course taking measures to prevent our platform from being affected should something similar happen in the future. Primarily, we will be implementing rate limiting. Rate limiting will allow us to automatically control the volume of traffic to our servers, and prevent unusual bursts of traffic like this one from impacting the reliability of our platform. While we believe rate limiting will be effective in this regard, we are also aware that it could potentially affect legitimate traffic. As a result, we're taking a considered approach, and are currently investigating what the most appropriate limits are before setting them. At the same time, we are also looking at whether there are any ways for us to improve our existing warning systems so that we can detect and respond to anomalies faster. In this instance our technical teams very quickly pinpointed the cause of the issue and were ready to respond, but the anomalous traffic actually ceased by itself before they had a chance to do so. That said, while we had the capability to resolve this incident rapidly, our focus is of course on preventing it from happening in the first place. To that end, we are currently examining how we can identify and react to similar situations before our customers are affected. Finally, we are also performing a thorough review of our application, database, and network architecture, as we do following all significant incidents. In this particular review, we will be placing a specific focus on how we can make the entire platform more resilient to issues such as this one. Once again, we are deeply sorry that this issue occurred. We are committed to making sure it can’t happen again, and we appreciate your patience and trust.
