  3. postmortem Jul 15, 2025, 04:09 PM UTC

    On Thursday, July 3, 2025, from approximately 7:37 a.m. until 10:34 a.m. \(UTC\), users experienced errors when accessing content in the KSAT Learner Experience \(LX\) and ModStore. This issue occurred after we deployed an update to the ModStore that did not automatically remove some old data. Then, requests from users who had both sets of data were denied. Once we reverted the update, the LX returned to normal performance by July 3, 2025, at 10:34 a.m. \(UTC\). To prevent this type of issue in the future, we are improving our code before redeploying to ensure that the old data is removed by default. No data loss occurred as a result of this issue.
