Outage in Coveralls

Increased latency for large projects

Resolved Minor
May 18, 2026 - Started 27 days ago - Lasted 10 days
Official incident page

Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

Coveralls experienced increased report processing latency for large projects (5K+ files) due to background job queue backlogs, with a small number of high-volume repositories causing 75% of the traffic and creating delays for other users. The team resolved the issue by moving outlier repositories to dedicated processing queues and manually clearing backlogs, allowing normal processing times to resume for most projects. The incident was resolved after 10 days when the main background processing queue showed no backups for 48 hours.

We have received reports of increased report latency for larger projects (5K file and up). We are doing our best to clear the background job queues for these projects. If you have one of these projects, feel free to reach out and we'll check status for you.

We are closing this incident. Our main background processing queue for larger repos has had no backups in 48 hrs. We will continue monitoring for recurrence.

MONITORING 18 days ago - at 05/27/2026 10:18PM

We've cleared the backlog of background jobs for larger projects from our heavy project queues, with the exception of nine projects whose volume continues to exceed our daily fair use thresholds. Those nine have been redirected to secondary and tertiary queues that drain only after the primary queue is clear. Most of their jobs have now been processed, but a few projects generate more jobs than a normal day + overnight cycle can drain, so some backlog remains. We're continuing to work those queues down manually. If you think one of your projects may be affected, reach out to us at support@coveralls.io and we'll check status for you.

We are continuing to monitor for any further issues.

MONITORING 24 days ago - at 05/21/2026 04:23PM

We continue to monitor background processing queues for larger repos (5K+ files), as we continue offloading incoming jobs from the outlier repos whose volume led to the original backlog. If you think you may have been paused as one of these repos with outlier-level volume, please reach out to us at support@coveralls.io and we'll confirm status and get you an ETA on when your remaining jobs will be processed.

MONITORING 25 days ago - at 05/20/2026 02:06PM

We have moved all repos with more than 300 jobs in queue to dedicated queues for processing. These 7 repos were responsible for 75% traffic in our heavy repos queue. This move allows us to provide normal processing times for non-outlier repos and dedicated resources to outlier repos. Outlier repos by their job volume will still take longer to clear. If you believe you may be one of these outlier repos, please reach out and we'll confirm and give you an idea of when your jobs will be processed. If you'd like faster processing, we can also pause processing on older job, for instance, anything older than 1 hour (or 2 hours, or 3 hours) ago.

We are keeping this incident open as we continue monitoring.

MONITORING 26 days ago - at 05/19/2026 01:36PM

We are still receiving reports of latency for large projects and are seeing backlogs of background jobs in queues dedicated to large repos (5K+ source files). We may pause some outlier repos with excessive numbers of jobs in order to clear general traffic. If you believe you may have been paused, reach out and we'll let you know.

MONITORING 27 days ago - at 05/18/2026 05:37PM

A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results.
