Summary AI Generated

Heroku experienced service degradation for 8.7 hours due to a partial outage from an upstream service provider that began affecting US region customers at 12:25 UTC on May 8, 2026. The incident impacted Heroku's data components, causing customers to experience intermittent connectivity issues, elevated database latency, and degraded performance with third-party add-on providers.
