25. postmortem Jun 05, 2026, 03:18 AM UTC

    # **Post Incident Summary: Xero platform outages \(6 May to 15 May 2026\)** Between 6 and 15 May 2026, customers experienced a series of platform disruptions affecting login, navigation and some product areas. These stemmed from separate technical issues occurring across the period, each identified and resolved by our engineering teams. At no stage was personal data at risk, and there are no concerns relating to the security of the Xero platform. We apologise for the impact these caused. ## **What happened** ### **1. Database disruptions \(6 to 12 May\)** Customers experienced a series of short, repeated disruptions linked to a core platform system responsible for user recognition and organisation access. These intermittent outages occurred sporadically on 6-7 May and 12 May, affecting login and platform navigation. ### **2. AWS infrastructure outage \(8 May\)** A third-party AWS infrastructure incident caused degraded platform performance until traffic was redirected to healthy infrastructure in other locations. 1. Traffic routing incident \(11 May\) An internal traffic routing issue stemming from a configuration issue that resulted in degraded performance in some products until service fully recovered. ## **How we responded** * Around-the-clock engineering oversight to stabilise the platform and investigate root causes. * 24/7 coverage of our customer facing teams to keep customers informed as issues occurred. * Continuous updates to the[ Xero Status Page](http://status.xero.com) and customer-facing channels throughout each incident. * For the AWS outage, shifting traffic away from impacted infrastructure drawing on learnings from the October 2025 outage. * Engineering teams worked in parallel to deployed targeted fixes to minimise impact while investigating the root cause, particularly for the database incident. * Direct communications to impacted customers, including through Partner channels. ## **What we’re doing next** We’re continuing work to: * Improve the stability and resilience of the systems behind the database disruptions. * Enhance our release validation and database change controls * Monitor platform performance closely and continue to improve the speed and clarity of our customer communications during incidents. Our approach is to provide specific information as it becomes available, and where details are still being investigated, to keep customers informed with timely high-level updates while we work towards a resolution We're sorry for the disruption these incidents caused, and remain committed to improving the reliability of our platform and to communicating openly with customers when issues occur.
