Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

Marqeta experienced intermittent database connectivity issues that caused elevated STIPs (service timeouts) and partial disruptions to Core API, Payment Processing, and Digital Wallets & Tokenization services. The incident was traced to database connection failures with a third-party vendor, affecting customers with service interruptions and API traffic issues. The problem was resolved after 94 hours by applying a tactical fix to the database environment, which restored all services to normal performance levels.

We have observed a database connectivity issue that intermittently impacted Marqeta services on April 1st between 16:04 and 17:56 PST. During this window, some customers may have experienced an elevated amount of STIPs as well as partial disruptions to tokenization and API traffic. Our engineering team has traced the instability to an intermittent database connection failure and has escalated the matter to our third-party vendor for support. We are currently engaged in an active troubleshooting with the vendor's support to isolate the root cause and prevent recurrence by applying a tactical solution. We apologize for any inconvenience this incident may caused, and will periodically provide updates once available.
