Outage in Gorilla

Intermittent API errors and delayed responses

Resolved Major

Incident Report

Some users experienced intermittent API errors and slower response times. In certain cases, repeated requests failed until the affected service instances were restarted. We are investigating an ongoing issue causing intermittent API errors and slower response times for calculation-related requests. The issue occurs when the API exceeds execution time limits and enters a degraded state, which can cause repeated request failures until the affected service instances are recycled. We are actively mitigating impacted instances and monitoring the platform. In parallel, we are enhancing detection and alerting to ensure a faster response while we work on a longer-term solution to prevent this behavior from recurring. Further updates will be shared as progress is made.

This incident has been resolved. Our team will continue to explore long-term solutions and improvements. If you continue to experience, please reach out to our support team

MONITORING about 2 months ago - at 12/17/2025 08:24PM

A fix has been implemented to ensure slow requests fail cleanly without impacting overall service stability. We are actively monitoring to confirm the fix fully resolves the issue. Further updates will be shared if needed.

IDENTIFIED about 2 months ago - at 12/17/2025 08:09PM

We have identified the cause of the ongoing API issues. In some cases, individual requests can take longer than expected, which may prevent our internal safeguards from triggering correctly. This can lead to temporary service degradation and errors.

Mitigation in progress:
We are applying changes to ensure slow requests fail cleanly without affecting overall service stability, and are identifying additional improvements to prevent this behavior from recurring.

We will provide another update once the fix is deployed and move the incident to the Monitoring phase.

INVESTIGATING about 2 months ago - at 12/17/2025 07:01PM

We are investigating a recurrence of intermittent API errors and slow responses. Previous changes did not fully resolve the issue. Early findings suggest our internal timeout safeguards are not consistently triggering in production, allowing platform-level timeouts to occur and cause repeated service restarts.

The exact cause is still under investigation. We are actively working on mitigations and will share updates as we learn more.

MONITORING about 2 months ago - at 12/17/2025 04:42PM

We have identified a likely contributing factor related to a recent update in a third-party monitoring component that was automatically included in our latest deployment. This update affected our ability to observe the API and may have contributed to intermittent timeouts and 500 errors.
In parallel, the monitoring provider has deprecated their legacy Lambda monitoring and recommended migrating to a newer APM-based integration. We have completed this migration, applied a workaround for the identified issue, and rolled out a hotfix across all environments.
The remaining work is to update dashboards and alerts to fully use the new monitoring data. We continue to monitor the situation closely and will provide further updates as stability is confirmed.

We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue.

IDENTIFIED about 2 months ago - at 12/17/2025 04:13PM

We are investigating a potential interaction between a recently updated monitoring component and our API runtime. This may, under certain conditions, prevent proper timeout handling and lead to intermittent errors. Fixes are being rolled out, and the investigation is ongoing.
