Summary AI Generated
An upstream GitHub Actions incident caused instability in Blacksmith's service, affecting GitHub Actions, API requests, and webhooks with jobs taking longer than expected to be picked up. The service experienced elevated queue times in both regions during the 52-minute outage. Recovery was achieved once the upstream GitHub issue was resolved, though queue times remained elevated initially as the system recovered from the backlog.
