Is Learnosity down?

As of 16:00 UTC, we are currently experiencing a slowdown in availability of newly submitted submitted session results in the us-east-1 region. There is no data loss, all saves and submissions are being queued as designed, and the assessments stack remains operational. Delays may currently be experienced using the Data API to fetch session results, and the Reports API to display results. Other workflows that rely on the synchronous use of Data API results may also be affected. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are actively investigating the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

As of 16:20 UTC, Learnosity has increased database performance and we are processing queued sessions rapidly. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are continuing to actively investigate the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

As of 16:25 UTC, we have resolved the slowdown in processing session results and all sessions are being scored normally. We will continue to monitor for a further 30 minutes before closing this incident report. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are continuing to actively investigate the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

As of 16:55 UTC, we are have resolved the degraded performance issue affecting availability of session data in us-east-1. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams will follow up with a post mortem once we have completed root cause analysis and finalized any next steps or preventative measures required. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

### Affected Systems and Regions On 2026-04-17, Learnosity experienced a service degradation impacting availability of newly submitted session results for a small subset of customers in US-East-1. The issue began at approximately 13:54 UTC and was resolved at 16:24 UTC. The total duration of customer impact was approximately 2.5 hours. ### Investigation Service degradation was detected following the accumulation of submitted sessions in the async scoring queue, This was caused by elevated CPU utilization when heavy load coincided with a background data migration task that had been running for several days on the affected EC2 instance. This reduced message processing throughput, leading to queueing of sessions.  ### Resolution Learnosity CloudOps engineers responded by scaling session processing node EC2 instances, and corresponding database proxies, to maximum allowable capacity. The migration task was also stopped, which further reduced CPU pressure and allowed message processing throughput to recover. The session scoring backlog was fully cleared by 16:24 UTC. ### Prevention Learnosity is implementing the following measures to mitigate: * Pre-flight health checks and safeguards are being introduced to prevent migration tasks from running during busy periods of production usage. * Enhanced monitoring is being applied to detect backlog growth and database contention, and apply remedial action more quickly

As of 13:30 UTC, we are currently experiencing slow downs affecting the Live Progress report in the us-east-1 region. Atypical use of eventbus may also be affected, such as custom reports/implementations. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are actively investigating the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

As of 14:30 UTC, the Live Progress report event degradation issue in the us-east-1 region has been resolved. Additional capacity processed the event load and these systems are operating normally. Brief additional latency during this scaling may have been introduced for users of Learnosity's premium Firehose feature, but we've seen no evidence that this affected customers. This, too, was resolved once scaling was complete. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams will follow up with a post mortem once we have completed root cause analysis and finalized any next steps or preventative measures required. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

### Affected Systems and Regions On 2026-04-16, Learnosity experienced a service degradation impacting the Live Progress report. The issue began at approximately 13:12 UTC and was resolved at 14:40 UTC. The total duration of customer impact was approximately 88 minutes. ### Investigation The issue was detected following elevated error rates on the load balancer serving the eventbus service. Investigation determined that an unhealthy condition within the EC2 instances led to elevated CPU utilization and memory pressure within the Auto Scaling Group, resulting in application instability and repeated service restarts. Inconsistent recovery caused traffic to concentrate on a subset of hosts, further elevating error rates. A secondary effect of the instability was increased request pressure on downstream dependencies. ### Resolution Service was restored by stabilizing the affected EC2 instance and restoring consistent application availability across the Auto Scaling Group. Load distribution normalized once all instances returned to a healthy state. ### Prevention Learnosity is implementing the following measures to mitigate: * Improve service startup and dependency handling to ensure consistent recovery behavior * Review resource thresholds to reduce the likelihood of similar instability * Enhance monitoring to detect and respond more quickly to similar conditions
