GatewayAPI.EU experienced a 22-minute service interruption affecting both API and Dashboard availability due to a network fluctuation at their infrastructure provider that caused the floating IP routing to become stuck in an unresponsive state. The engineering team resolved the issue by manually re-initializing the routing services to restore connectivity. The company is implementing a platform simplification with more robust native failover architecture to prevent similar incidents.
Between 14:48 and 15:10 CET, GatewayAPI experienced a brief service interruption (22 minutes) affecting API and Dashboard availability.
What Happened: A transient network fluctuation at our infrastructure provider caused a "stuck" state in our floating IP routing. While our systems attempted to fail over automatically, the external API request to reassign the IP hung, preventing traffic from reaching our active nodes.
How it was Resolved: Our engineering team manually re-initialized the routing services, forcing a fresh update to the IP state and restoring full connectivity by 15:10 CET.
Next Steps: To prevent a recurrence of this specific "stuck" state, we are fast-tracking a planned platform simplification. This update will move us toward a more robust, native failover architecture that is less reliant on external providers API calls during network disruptions.
We apologize for the downtime and appreciate your patience.
