    Post an extensive investigation conducted by the Sumsub Team, the following conclusions have been reached: * The incident has only impacted the performance of requests to [api.sumsub.com](http://api.sumsub.com/) and caused no downtime. * The issue was caused by a network stack failure in one of the database cluster nodes. * The affected node has been phased out from production for further diagnostics. As of now, the performance of [api.sumsub.com](http://api.sumsub.com/) remains optimal. The problematic node has been replaced. Our team will incorporate lessons learned from this incident into our next review of redundancy protocols.
