Update timeline

  1. identified Dec 07, 2021, 06:26 PM UTC

    We are currently experiencing various issues due to an AWS outage. This outage is currently impacting: - Uploading and downloading files - Sending newsletters via email and SMS We are further assessing the impact on other parts of the system.

  2. identified Dec 07, 2021, 06:54 PM UTC

    We have identified an additional impact on email and SMS links, which intermittently lead to a "504 Gateway Time-out" page. This is again due to the same AWS outage (https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/7/22822332/amazon-server-aws-down-disney-plus-ring-outage). To clarify, AWS is Amazon's cloud, which powers a large part of the internet, as well as Remarkety's own servers. Our application relies on several AWS services for hosting, files, as well as link redirection.

  3. identified Dec 07, 2021, 09:52 PM UTC

    We are seeing improvement in link redirection and overall app performance. However, AWS has not fully resolved the outage and so our engineering team is still monitoring.

  4. monitoring Dec 07, 2021, 10:19 PM UTC

    AWS has updated that a fix has been implemented on their end. Although not officially resolved, we have been seeing normal application performance for the past 2 hours. We are continuing to monitor the system.

  5. resolved Dec 08, 2021, 05:58 AM UTC

    The underlying infrastructure issue has been fully resolved, and the system is operating normally.
