Message Loading Issue

28 January 2019

Summary

On 28 January 2019 at 09:28 UTC our team discovered that the Message List and Search were not loading any content and that this affected all customers.

Why this happened

At approximately 09:20 an update to SEDNA was released. This update was not believed to have any impact on SEDNA’s existing features or functionality. Unfortunately, the search endpoint was affected resulting in a temporary loss of service.

Actions and opportunities for improvement

Once the issue was identified as a faulty deployment it was rolled back to the last known good version. As a result of this incident we have undertaken the following actions:

Increase the speed of application deployments to ensure that rollbacks take as little time as possible - IN PROGRESS

Further increase test coverage of new deployments to ensure that any fault prevents the deployment from succeeding - IN PROGRESS

Improve alerting thresholds to ensure application errors are raised more rapidly - COMPLETED
