Incident Start Time: 15.56 GMT Incident End Time: 16.20 GMT **Issue summary** On Tuesday, 4th March, users of Virtual Staging Environments \(VSE\) experienced 504 Gateway Timeouts errors when attempting to preview content and assets. The delivery of published content and assets were not impacted. **Root cause** Earlier in the day, we deployed a low-risk update to the VSE stack, which was successfully validated post-deployment. However, the service was not scaled appropriately to accommodate the traffic demands, ultimately reaching capacity and triggering 504 errors. The issue was resolved by scaling the service appropriately. **Corrective Actions** Future releases to the VSE will include proactively monitoring the drift within Cloudformation to ensure service capacity meets traffic requirements.
