  3. postmortem Apr 01, 2025, 04:34 PM UTC

    ### **Dates:** Thursday March 6th 2025, 12:00 - 12:22 UTC ### **What happened:** Customers were unable to start new Android Real device tests in all datacentres. ### **Why it happened:** During a deployment, a race condition occurred during the reallocation of devices from "old" device pools to "new" device pools which caused devices to become unavailable in both pools. ### **How we fixed it:** The "old" pools were shutdown releasing the device lock, allowing the "new" pools to acquire the lock. ### **What we are doing to prevent it from happening again:** We are improving our device allocation processes.
