Status: Resolved Summary On 27 August 2026, the Trybe platform experienced an outage lasting approximately 19 minutes where around 75% of traffic was unable to access Trybe. No guest, booking, or other customer data was accessed, altered, or lost at any point during the incident.

Once deployed, it forced the database to search through a very large volume of records for each request, making every request far slower than normal. Our application servers were left waiting on those slow requests. The backlog of requests grew, and each stuck request was holding open a connection to a separate database - which eventually hit its connection limit and stopped responding entirely. The result was a full outage of the platform. Resolution Once the cause was identified, our team worked quickly to isolate the pipeline and decouple the recovery process from the affected database service. We then safely completed the rollback and stabilised the platform. We are currently performing deeper code analysis and testing a permanent resolution prior to re-deploying the feature. Preventive Measures Following this incident, we have reviewed the process that led to it and have made changes to reduce the likelihood of this happening again. The steps we have taken are: • Our engineers’ development environments now have strict policies on queries that can be executed to help discover these issues before they reach the review stage. • Our code review process now ensures any database queries added or modified are scrutinised specifically for performance. • Our deployment process is no longer be dependent on a database connection. • We are making changes so that a problem in one part of the platform cannot exhaust the resources other parts rely on. If you would like more information on the steps we're taking, please contact your account manager or [email protected]: mailto:[email protected] and we're happy to discuss this with you directly.
