  • Time: Aug. 31, 2023, 7:15 p.m.
    Status: Postmortem
    Update: ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  On Friday, August 11th at 23:45 UTC, we observed a delay in message delivery for subscribe requests using our Channel Groups service. After identifying the delay, we restarted the affected pods, and the issue was resolved at 01:44 UTC on Saturday, August 12th.  ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  To prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future, we are improving the Channel Groups service communication, as well as exploring enhanced error handling and retries to ensure improved monitoring and alerting.
  • Time: Aug. 12, 2023, 2:55 a.m.
    Status: Resolved
    Update: This incident has been resolved. The incident was declared with an overabundance of caution, and was determined to be limited to a handful of customers. Please contact PubNub Support ([email protected]) if you wish to discuss the incident.

  • Time: Aug. 12, 2023, 1:43 a.m.
    Status: Monitoring
    Update: This issue has been resolved and latency has returned to normal levels. We will continue to monitor services for the next 30-60 minutes. We will continue to provide updates here.

  • Time: June 20, 2023, 1:31 p.m.
    Status: Postmortem
    Update: ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  At 19:20 UTC on Tuesday June 13th, 2023  we observed increased error rates and latency for our Authorization services at our US East facility.  In response, we redirected authorization services from US East to US West, and the issue was mitigated at 20:59 UTC on Tuesday June 13th, 2023. During this time, we identified the root cause of the issue was due to a third-party service incident. After confirming the third-party service incident was resolved, we rerouted the Authorization traffic back to US East at 22:58 UTC on Tuesday, June 13th 2023.  ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  To prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future we are developing a comprehensive failover plan to more quickly move services from one region to other regions..  In the next few weeks we will be implementing new processes to allow mitigation of regional service issues.
  • Time: June 13, 2023, 10:58 p.m.
    Status: Resolved
    Update: This incident has been resolved, all services fully restored.
  • Time: June 13, 2023, 8:59 p.m.

  • Time: June 5, 2023, 4:43 p.m.
    Status: Postmortem
    Update: ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  On June 1, 2023, we observed two subscribe latency spikes in our Europe Point of Presence. The spikes occurred from 08:18 AM UTC through 09:06 AM UTC, and from 09:44 AM UTC through 09:54 AM UTC. During these times, users in the Europe region may have experienced slower than normal responses on subscribe calls. The higher than normal latency affected one of multiple access zones in the region. Shortly after detecting the increase in latency, the cause of the issue was identified, and a fix was deployed, restoring the region to normal operational status by 09:54 AM UTC on June 1. This issue occurred when a code deployment to the region overwrote a configuration previously deployed, resulting in a lack of resources in the access zone.  ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  To prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future, we are applying a fix to all clusters. Additionally, we are improving alerting around publish to subscribe latency so we are quickly notified if a similar issue were to occur.
  • Time: June 1, 2023, 4:41 p.m.
    Status: Resolved
    Update: On June 1, 2023 between 08:18 and 09:06 UTC, customers using Subscribe service in our EU Central PoP may have experienced some errors, timeouts, and delays in message delivery. We will publish a root cause analysis soon.

Updates:

  • Time: May 23, 2023, 3:20 p.m.
    Status: Postmortem
    Update: ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  At 14:35 UTC on May 18, 2023 we observed some errors being served to subscribers globally. We noted a large, unusual traffic pattern that was putting memory pressure on parts of our infrastructure faster than our normal autoscaling could handle. We resolved the issue by manually adding capacity to cover the newly observed pattern. The issue was resolved at 16:15 UTC the same day. This issue occurred because the system was not prepared to scale quickly enough on the combination of factors that were unique to this traffic. ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  To prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future we are adding new monitoring and alerting that can detect this scenario, as well as tuning scaling factors in our systems to allow our autoscaling to react more appropriately to it.
  • Time: May 18, 2023, 6:24 p.m.
    Status: Resolved
    Update: We are resolving this issue, and we will follow up with a post-mortem soon. We apologize for the impact this may have had on your service. Please reach out to us by contacting PubNub Support ([email protected]) if you wish to discuss the impact on your service.
  • Time: May 18, 2023, 5:38 p.m.

  • Time: May 18, 2023, 5:17 p.m.
    Status: Identified

  • Time: May 18, 2023, 4:48 p.m.
    Status: Investigating
    Update: Subscribers were experiencing sporadic errors on May 18 between 2:35 PM and 4:11 PM UTC. We are investigating the cause.

Updates:

  • Time: May 5, 2023, 7:56 p.m.
    Status: Postmortem
    Update: ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  On Tuesday May 2, 2023 at 21:23 UTC, we observed that Events and Actions messages were not being processed on our US PoP or EU Central PoP.  Shortly after observing the issue, we redeployed a processing schema, and the issue was resolved on May 2, 2023 at 22:00 UTC. ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  To prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future, we added the needed monitoring to alert us when Events and Actions messages are not being processed properly so we can redeploy the processing schema as needed.
