RESOLVED 10 days ago - at 09/18/2024 02:33PM

The customer reports coincided with high fluctuations in request rate at one specific entry point of our network: the entry point to our UK1 data center. In collaboration with our network providers we investigated why this happened. We have conducted thorough investigations in collaboration with our providers, and successfully excluded quite a few potential culprits. Despite this, the root cause remains undetermined.

Over the past week, our monitoring systems indicate that the issue has subsided, and the overall network performance remains stable. This is confirmed by our customers. With the issue no longer occurring, we cannot continue our search for a root cause analysis and see no other option than closing this incident.

We will continue to keep a close eye on our systems to ensure ongoing stability. Should any related issues arise, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team.

As part of our ongoing efforts, 76% of affected environments have been moved to our UK2 data center where the issue was never present. We plan to migrate all remaining UK1 environments to UK2 within the next period.

Thank you for your patience and understanding

We have received minimal feedback regarding network latency today. In addition to the reduced reports, our monitoring indicates that the issue has largely subsided. While this is a positive development, our engineers are still actively monitoring the situation to ensure stability and performance.

Our engineers have been investigating the issue, and based on their current findings, it appears that there is a problem between the internet backbone and the Cloudflare access point in London.

The slowness issue has been successfully reproduced by the team, and we are actively collaborating with our CDN provider, Cloudflare, to resolve it as quickly as possible. We understand the inconvenience this has caused and sincerely apologize for the extended disruption.

MONITORING 30 days ago - at 08/29/2024 10:09AM

Our engineers have identified that the drop in traffic may be linked to recent maintenance work, during which traffic was rerouted. We are actively working on implementing additional metrics to gain a better understanding of the situation.

We are also in contact with our provider, Cloudflare, to diagnose and resolve this issue as swiftly as possible. So far, approximately 30 customers have reported intermittent degraded performance.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve these issues. Further updates will be provided as soon as more information becomes available.

MONITORING about 1 month ago - at 08/28/2024 09:09AM

We have been reviewing the HAR files provided and have identified that the intermittent slowness may be linked to specific browsers, plugins, or local virus scanners.

Our Support team is actively gathering more information from those affected to better understand and address the issue.

In case you experience any slowness, please provide us with more detailed information about the used browser and plugins.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this matter.

MONITORING about 1 month ago - at 08/27/2024 02:20PM

We have been closely monitoring our dashboards and have observed that the issue with degraded performance appears to be intermittent. Due to this intermittent nature, we have yet to successfully reproduce the issue consistently.

This behavior has also been confirmed by a handful of our customers who have experienced slowness today and kindly provided us with HAR files for further analysis.

Please rest assured that our team is continuing to investigate this matter thoroughly. We will provide another update and check in with our customers tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
