    ### Errors when uploading documents due to OCR Engine API layer deployment ‌ ### **Summary** An error in the deployment process occurred when making routine updates to the API layer. This update was deployed at 05:35 UTC . While the engines themselves were up and running, users attempting an IDV during this time would not have been able to complete their IDV transaction given the OCR engine directly impacts the uploading of documents. ### **Remediation** The deployment was rolled back and completed at approx 06:40 UTC. ### **Future improvements identified** Our API layer deployment process is currently under review to identify improvements, including further automation, to mitigate against system disruptions. We are also reviewing infrastructure monitoring, including how the notifications flow to impacted customers.
