Service Interruption Update: March 20, 2025
(March 20, 2025)
We experienced an unexpected service interruption today affecting all applications in our US Production environment. Services were unavailable from 7:32am to 8:52am Central time (approximately 80 minutes).
Our monitoring systems alerted us immediately, and our technical team worked closely with our hosting provider to identify and resolve the issue. Services have been fully restored and are operating normally.
What Happened?
Our preliminary investigation indicates this outage stemmed from unexpected complications during scheduled server maintenance that was previously announced (maintenance notice).
What's Next?
We are conducting a comprehensive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to:
- Determine the exact sequence of events
- Identify process improvements
- Implement safeguards to prevent similar incidents
We understand the critical nature of our services to your operations and sincerely apologize for the disruption. If you experienced any specific issues during or after the outage, or have questions about this incident, or would like a copy of our RCA once completed, please contact your Technical Account Manager.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
