Summary AI Generated

A database issue affecting the hot path for database requests caused a ~5.6-hour major outage on Mintlify, taking down the Dashboard, authenticated documentation sites, doc search, Assistant, MCP, and documentation deploys/updates. Public (unauthenticated) documentation sites remained unaffected throughout. The database was restored and services were progressively brought back online, with residual processing queue backlogs causing continued delays to documentation updates and deploys during the recovery phase.

This is impacting the following services: • Authenticated documentation sites - unavailable • Dashboard - unavailable • Documentation updates - deploys and content updates are not going through • Doc search - unavailable • Assistant - unavailable • MCP - unavailable Unauthenticated (public) documentation sites remain fully available and are not affected by this incident

Core platform services are operational, but documentation updates, deploys, and commit checks remain delayed due to processing queue backlogs.

We are actively draining the backlogs and restoring normal processing capacity. New updates may continue to experience delays during recovery. We’ll provide another update as processing returns to normal.

MONITORING 14 days ago - at 09/02/2026 09:00PM

Database availability has been restored and all replica members are healthy. We are progressively scaling impacted services back up.

Dashboard, documentation updates, search, MCP, and Assistant are recovering but may experience intermittent errors or elevated latency. Some authenticated sites remain affected by a separate DNS issue. We’re monitoring stability and continuing restoration.
