## **Summary** On March 17, between approximately **3:04 PM and 4:05 PM PST**, customers experienced **degraded performance and intermittent unavailability** for Test Intelligence \(TI\) related APIs. This impacted test result uploads and report access. ## **Root Cause** A recent change introduced additional background processing during test result ingestion, which significantly increased database load. This led to resource saturation and caused elevated latency and temporary service disruption. ## **Impact** * **Degraded performance** for test uploads and report retrieval * **Intermittent API unavailability \(~7 minutes\)** * Affected customers experienced slower response times across TI-related workflows ## **Remediation** ### **Immediate** * Increased database capacity to stabilize performance * Applied configuration changes to reduce system load ### **Permanent** * Optimized processing logic to reduce database overhead * Introduced safeguards to prevent similar load amplification scenarios ## **Action Items** * Improve performance validation using production-scale datasets * Enhance safeguards for new feature rollouts * Strengthen monitoring to detect abnormal load patterns earlier * Add controls to limit impact scope of similar changes
