Resolved Minor
November 19, 2025 - Started 14 days ago - Lasted about 2 hours

Incident Report

We're currently experiencing an issue powering on PostgreSQL services. This affects services that have been powered off and then subsequently powered back on. When this happens you will notice in the Aiven console that the nodes stay in starting. This does not currently affect already powered on services, and those services are able to build new nodes correctly during maintenance updates or in the event of a failover. We're investigating the cause of the issue for possible mitigations that we can apply. We'll continue to update the status of this incident here.
