  2. monitoring Apr 06, 2026, 03:06 PM UTC

    A fix has been implemented, resolving the issue with delays. We are monitoring performance and collecting data to detect and prevent this issue from happening again.

  3. resolved Apr 06, 2026, 04:35 PM UTC

    The fix is holding. This issue is resolved. What happened: Overnight on Sunday, April 5, a routine database server upgrade was performed. A component of CMS4Schools which processes content updates was affected and silently failed. As a result, a backlog of updates accumulated until the issue was fixed this morning. Content updates that were sent during this period have now been published, and new content should appear quickly as normal. We are filling the gap in monitoring to detect this type of issue, and are implementing a more robust reconnection mechanism to prevent this problem from occurring in the future.

  1. identified Jan 09, 2026, 03:51 PM UTC

    Our underlying provider for mass notifications (email, text, phone, and chat) is currently experiencing a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. This attack is leveraging a high volume of rotating IP addresses to generate excessive traffic against publicly accessible resources. We're in active communication with them as their engineering and security teams work to mitigate the impact.

    Messages containing URL links, images, or attachments (including newsletters and report emails) may not send successfully or may not be viewable by recipients. Chats may take longer than normal or fail to send. Core messaging remains operational, but these may be intermittently impacted while mitigation is in progress for DDoS attacks.

    As you may have heard, AWS is recovering from a high profile outage that started early this morning. AWS hosts much of the infrastructure that 4Schools applications are built on. We have been monitoring these effects closely and have found the direct impact to be very minor in our case. However, please be aware that many affected companies are still stabilizing their systems. As the recovery efforts cascade through infrastructure managed by 4schools, by partners, and by hosts whom you may have linked to in CMS4Schools, you may see occasional error messages. We will continue to monitor application performance and take any steps possible to mitigate outages.
