- postmortem Jul 28, 2025, 02:56 AM UTC
# What Happened * A database maintenance period triggered a migration on the database that was meant to tighten constraints for data consistency. For example, old text columns that were supposed to be UUIDs were updated. * The change created incompatibilities between certain kinds of API requests and the database, returning errors. For example LTI launch requests from LMSs were affected. Not all requests were affected. # How it Happened * Database maintenance periods are normally configured outside busy hours per Cadmus region. A configuration change updated this erroneously and went unnoticed. * Cadmus APIs are always tested to be backwards compatible over at-least 2 versions. However this type of change created a missed inconsistency that should have been tested. # How it was fixed * New API versions were immediately deployed to replace the older versions to ensure the database and API were consistent. The deployed replaced the in-compatible APIs. # Future Mitigation * Database upgrade schedules were manually checked and configured. The central infrastructure configuration now enforces the maintenance periods correctly. * A new release process of testing data-consistency type migrations is now in-place. We intent to perform more such migrations as we cleanup old-data and old-APIs with the new process.
