Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

Xero experienced a series of platform outages over approximately 8 days, affecting the main Xero platform, Practice Manager, Xero Tax (Australia), and Xero HQ, with customers encountering errors when logging in or navigating the platform. The disruptions included multiple separate incidents, with one attributed to a third-party AWS hardware issue, causing repeated service interruptions throughout the period. The platform was ultimately stabilized with all services restored to normal operation, and Xero committed to publishing a detailed post-incident summary outlining prevention measures.

We are aware customers trying to use Xero are experiencing errors. Our team is investigating this with urgency.
