  • Time: Aug. 12, 2022, 4:06 p.m.
    Status: Postmortem
    Update: ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  At 18:36 UTC on August 9, 2022, we observed a small number of errors served across all PubNub services in our US-West PoP. We identified a configuration sync issue with a load balancer, removed it from service, and the issue was resolved at 19:29 UTC. This issue occurred because alerting did not include the specific configuration problem affecting the load balancer which had to be identified through investigation. ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  To prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future we are working to enhance server-level monitoring and alerting in the coming days. This will ensure we are immediately aware of any recurrence and can act quickly to resolve it.

  • Time: Aug. 3, 2022, 9:20 p.m.
    Status: Postmortem
    Update: At 01:08 UTC on August 3rd we observed that messages published to persistence from our Europe PoP from 23:32 August 2nd to 00:41 UTC August 3rd were not accessible by History API call, and push notifications sent during the same period were not delivered. We implemented a fix and the issue was resolved at 02:04 UTC on August 3rd resulting in stored messages being backfilled and accessible as expected. Push notifications sent during the period in question remained undelivered due to expiry. This issue occurred because there was an error in our server code that went undetected, resulting in messages waiting in the queue unprocessed. To prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future we expanded testing coverage to ensure messages are written to persistence as intended. In the coming days we will implement enhanced internal alerting to provide early warning of such an occurrence in the future.
  • Time: Aug. 3, 2022, 2:04 a.m.
    Status: Resolved
    Update: This incident has been resolved.
  • Time: Aug. 3, 2022, 2 a.m.
    Status: Monitoring
    Update: A fix has been implemented. Messages published to storage during the time period in question to our Europe PoP are now available for retrieval. 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'd like to discuss the impact on your service.
  • Time: Aug. 3, 2022, 1:43 a.m.
    Status: Identified
    Update: Implementation of the fix remains underway. We will provide an update within 30 minutes.
  • Time: Aug. 3, 2022, 1:12 a.m.
    Status: Identified
    Update: The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.
  • Time: Aug. 3, 2022, 1:08 a.m.
    Status: Investigating
    Update: Users who published messages to our European PoP from ~23:32-00:41 GMT may be temporarily unable to access them. No errors are being returned from the service, despite messages not being returned correctly. Push messages sent during that time were not sent to their intended recipients. The other services, including PubSub, are working normally. While the issue has been resolved, we are working now to restore access to the stored messages.

  • Time: June 29, 2022, 8:15 p.m.
    Status: Postmortem
    Update: ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  At 15:45 UTC on 2022-06-27, we observed delays in push notifications sent and messages written to history, as well as excess presence join & leave events. In response, we scaled the underlying systems supporting these services,, and the issue was resolved at 16:05 UTC. This issue occurred because our third party service provider experienced an outage in the US-East PoP. ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  To prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future, we are updating our processes to ensure that malfunctioning nodes are restarted in a way that will preserve their state for analysis, as well as updating our runbook for scaling the system.
