May 2026: Upstash Redis – intermittent connection issues in some regions
Upstash Redis experienced intermittent connection issues in us-east-1, us-west-1, ap-southeast-2, and ap-south-1 regions due to unexpected load on their proxies, causing connection timeouts and elevated error rates for some clients. The team quickly identified the root cause and applied workarounds to relieve pressure on the affected proxies. The incident lasted 1.8 hours before all systems returned to normal operation.
