May 5, 08:41:23 GMT+0 - Postmortem - ## Post‑Incident Review ### Summary A short service interruption occurred following a **power loss affecting one server**. The redundancy mechanism was automatically triggered, redirecting traffic to a secondary server. ### Impact Users experienced a service interruption for a few minutes. During this time, making or receiving new calls was not possible, while ongoing calls were not interrupted. No data loss occurred. ### Root Cause The primary cause of the incident was a power loss on the initial server. When failover occurred, the secondary server was unable to instantly synchronize all data due to abnormal behavior in the database system. This resulted in a short delay while the server scaled up and stabilized. ### Resolution The redundancy mechanism functioned as designed. Service was fully restored once the secondary server completed startup, data synchronization, and load handling. ### Next Steps * Improve capacity to ensure faster startup and data synchronization when taking full load during failover * Optimize failover performance to better handle sudden data loads May 4, 09:53:00 GMT+0 - Investigating - May 4, 2026 at 12:06 PM CET Some customers have reported an interruption of Rainbow Hub service. Our technical teams are analyzing the issue to identify the root cause and assess the full impact. We will provide an update shortly.
