  1. monitoring Jun 22, 2026, 05:44 PM UTC

    We're currently monitoring the EU cluster after an Amazon RDS issue.

  2. resolved Jun 22, 2026, 05:56 PM UTC

    We’re seeing recovery across our internal metrics, and processing has now returned to full capacity. At this time, the issue appears to be resolved. Our current leading hypothesis is resource contention on a shared Amazon RDS instance that several services depend on, potentially related to a VACUUM operation running alongside a long-running job deleting a large volume of accumulated historical data. We have not yet confirmed the root cause and will continue investigating as follow-up, but service has been restored for now. We'll be following up with a public post-mortem.

    Video facial similarity tasks are taking longer than expected to complete

  2. postmortem Jan 20, 2026, 02:21 PM UTC

    ### Summary _An increase of Facial Similarity Video Manual tasks backlog resulted in higher processing times for about 21% of that variant’s traffic._ ### Root Causes _A spike in Biometric Video volumes overwhelmed our BPO resources, lengthening Facial Similarity Video check turnaround times impacting around 20% of variant traffic._ ### Timeline _01:16 GMT: A significant backlog of tasks was reported._ _03:27 GMT: BPO team allocated more analysts to process pending video tasks._ _06:33 GMT: Backlog was cleared._ ### Remedies Not applicable: the increase in TaT resulted exclusively from an unexpected spike in volume that created a backlog for manual analysts. There were no system issues.
