Incident
Report for Sauce Labs
Postmortem
Dates:
Thursday October 26th 2023, 17:03 - 17:30 UTC
What happened:
For the duration of the incident, customers could not upload new files or list files/groups through the Web UI. Some users received an HTTP error code of 429 due to them being rate-limited.
Why it happened:
Customers began to have issues uploading assets to our storage service due to a high number of concurrent uploads. This spike in upload requests caused a delay in acquiring a backend connection for the storage service.
How we fixed it:
We recycled the storage service pods, which cleared the connectivity issue with our backend service.
What we are doing to prevent it from happening again:
We are looking at the following areas:
- Determining how better to handle periods of increased load for our storage service.
- Refining our alerting for our storage service to detect performance issues customers may experience when interacting with it.
Resolved
Live and Automated tests on Real Devices/Emulators/Simulators have remained stable on our US-West Data Center. All services are fully operational.
