Northpass incident

Application Outage

Resolved after 1 hour 20 minutes, affecting Northpass App - Azure, on April 29, 2025.

resolved Apr 29, 2025, 07:43 PM UTC

Between 14:22 and 14:46 EDT today, our entire application was unavailable due to an unexpected memory exhaustion in our backend layer. Root Cause: A high-volume enrolment process caused backend cache errors leading to an "Out of Memory" condition. Preventative Measures Script Throttling: We'll introduce rate-limiting for large-scale data loads. Capacity Expansion: Backend cache memory limits were increased.
