Connectivity to US cluster seeming due to AWS incident

Incident Report for Braze, Inc.

Resolved

Systems have remained operational since the earlier incident. Due to the recent continued incidence of AWS chassis instability for the dedicated instance types that our database clusters run on, we have accelerated a number of remediation plans to remove the impact on Appboy systems due to this class of failure.

We also identified an issue during recovery with some message sending jobs that were scheduled for future delivery. We've notified affected customers and are working toward resolution and recovery.

Update

We have removed the affected availability zone's APIs from load balancers. REST API traffic is returning to normal. Message sending and data processing in unaffected zones are processing at a degraded pace.

Identified

We appear to have a recurrence of the AWS issue which has taken out a dozen databases with failing health checks in our US EAST environment. We are working on database failover.
