Resolved after 2 hours, affecting Exalate.app, on March 16, 2026.
**Incident:** Exalate Application Unavailability — March 16, 2026 **Duration:** 16:13 CET – 17:09 CET \(approximately 56 minutes\) **Impact:** The Exalate UI was inaccessible during this window. Issue synchronisation was not affected — integrations continued to run normally throughout. No data was lost. **Summary:** On March 16, 2026, the Exalate application became unavailable following a production infrastructure configuration change. A resource allocation adjustment applied to a critical authentication component proved insufficient under production load, causing repeated service interruptions. **Timeline:** * 16:13 CET — Issue reported, investigation initiated * 16:56 CET — Root cause identified, remediation initiated * 17:09 CET — Fix deployed, service restored * 18:13 CET — Full stability confirmed **Root Cause:** A resource limit adjustment deployed without cross-team review under-provisioned a critical authentication component. Under production load, the platform repeatedly terminated the component, rendering the application inaccessible. **Resolution:** Resource limits were corrected, restoring service. A further optimisation was applied during a subsequent scheduled maintenance window following joint engineering review. **Preventive Measures:** * All production infrastructure configuration changes now require joint sign-off from infrastructure and engineering leads before deployment * Resource and capacity parameters validated against production load baselines prior to deployment
