Update timeline

  1. monitoring Oct 20, 2025, 09:58 AM UTC

    We started seeing increased errors in our infrastructure around 08:00 UTC. Parts of our platform were affected by an outage with an upstream provider. We know that new database creation and backup creation were impacted, but we’re still assessing if there’s any broader impact. We’re seeing signs of recovery now, but we’re continuing to monitor.

  2. monitoring Oct 20, 2025, 10:13 AM UTC

    Several of our tools were also affected during that time, including support tools, so responses may have been delayed or missed between 08:00 and 09:30 UTC. We’re working through the requests as quickly as we can.

  3. monitoring Oct 20, 2025, 12:43 PM UTC

    We’re seeing steady recovery and keeping an eye on all components to make sure everything’s fully caught up. The upstream provider is still going through its own recovery process too.

  4. monitoring Oct 20, 2025, 12:46 PM UTC

    We are continuing to monitor for any further issues.

  8. identified Oct 20, 2025, 05:10 PM UTC
