   # Performance Degraded - Site dropdown not working for several clusters ## Root Cause Analysis ### Duration of the incident Discovered: Aug 25, 2025 – 15:40 UTC Resolved: Aug 25, 2025 – 16:45 UTC ### Cause A recent system update introduced a change that depended on data not yet available in our production environment. As a result, the site selector \(drop-down\) was unable to load correctly, which prevented users from switching between sites until the update was rolled back. ### Effect Customers were unable to switch sites in the platform, which limited access to some account information and historical data. ### Action taken _All times are in UTC_ **08/25/2025** **15:40** – Update deployed across production clusters. **16:17** – Customer reports received that the site drop-down was not loading. **16:26** – Engineering identified the change that introduced the issue. 16**:27** – Incident declared; response team assembled. **16:40** – Deployment was rolled back. **16:45** – Service restored; site drop-down working as expected. Incident resolved. ### Future consideration\(s\) * Add extra checks before updates to ensure all required data is available in production. * Improve safeguards so that unrelated changes are not deployed together. * Build fallback mechanisms to ensure that new features do not impact existing functionality. * Strengthen monitoring to detect and alert on similar issues in the future quickly.
