- postmortem Feb 27, 2025, 03:32 PM UTC
We apologise for last week’s disruption to our typically swift and flexible search functionality. This was caused by routine maintenance of our search infrastructure over the weekend of February 15th and 16th, which encountered unexpected issues during data migration. The resolution of the issue was further complicated by the larger-than-anticipated size of some datasets and the difficulty of certain technical processes in keeping up. On Tuesday, February 18th, we also deployed several bug fixes that sped up our data processing and ensured that search failures did not make the UI unusable in some circumstances. Rest assured, the team has thoroughly reviewed the incident, and changes are already in the pipeline to prevent similar occurrences.
