Stripo's Plugin API Gateway experienced degraded performance for 22 minutes, causing slow response times and difficulties initializing new plugins. The issue was caused by a misconfiguration during a scheduled AWS infrastructure update that led to pods being terminated prematurely, creating a request queue backlog that exhausted database connections. The problem was resolved by implementing a fix and optimizing deployment procedures to prevent similar issues.

The issue with increased response times in the Plugin API Gateway has been resolved, and plugin initialization is now operating normally.
Root cause:
During a scheduled AWS infrastructure update to apply patches, an unfortunate misconfiguration occurred, which we have already identified and fixed. Some pods were terminated before new ones were fully ready, leading to a significant accumulation of requests in the queue. Instead of being processed gradually, a large batch of queued requests was handled simultaneously, which exhausted available database connections and caused delays in processing new incoming requests.
We are optimizing our deployment and scaling procedures to prevent similar situations in the future.
A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results.
We are currently experiencing increased response times in the Plugin API Gateway, which is impacting the speed and ability to initialize new plugins.
