Primary database disruption

Incident Report for Lookout

Postmortem

  • Our cloud provider detected an infrastructure issue (with the physical servers or network) and automatically failed over to our standby database.
  • Service was read-only for approximately 15 minutes while database integrity was protected during the switchover.
  • Service has been fully restored. We have opened an high priority case with our cloud provider to confirm the root cause and will update.
  • ~~We do not believe this incident was related to the AWS US East outage; our systems run in AWS AP Southeast (Sydney).~~

  • New information: We have been informed it is indeed related to the widespread AWS US East issue (Likely their control plane). We are continuing to work with our cloud provider.
