  8. postmortem Feb 10, 2026, 04:32 PM UTC

    ## **Summary** On **February 4, 2026**, SEI experienced a temporary outage that affected SEI Insights. SEI Customers \(US production clusters\) were unable to see Insights data during this period. Customer data remained safe and was not impacted. ## **Root Cause** An automated system update caused our main database service to stop working correctly. When it restarted, it did not recover as expected, which led to temporary service errors. ## **Impact** * **Customer impact:** SEI Insights did not display data * **Duration:** Approximately **9:33 AM to 2:37 PM PST** * **Scope:** SEI Insights Only * **Data safety:** No customer data was lost or damaged ## **Mitigation and Permanent Fix** To restore service, we created and switched to a new, more resilient database setup. This allowed SEI Insights to return to normal operation. ## **Next Steps** * Keeping a backup system ready to reduce downtime if a similar issue occurs * Closely monitoring the new setup to quickly detect and address issues
