Post-mortem

Summary:

On 27 January 2026, Aera detected a platform availability issue affecting multiple East US CDEV (non-production) environments through automated monitoring. The Production Services Engineering (PSE) and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams initiated an immediate investigation. The issue was identified as an instability within the underlying infrastructure impacting a subset of platform services. Corrective actions were taken to stabilise the environment, after which services were restored. Validation checks confirmed that all affected environments were fully operational.

Customer Impact:

During the outage window, users experienced unavailability when accessing the affected East US CDEV environments.

Root Cause:

The issue was caused by an instability within the underlying infrastructure supporting platform services, which resulted in service unavailability in the East US CDEV environment.

Remediations:

Aera’s engineering teams investigated the infrastructure instability and implemented corrective actions to stabilise the affected platform services. Following stabilisation, services were restored across all impacted East US CDEV environments. Validation and monitoring checks were completed to confirm full platform recovery and normal operation.

Future Mitigating Actions:

We are strengthening platform monitoring and alerting to proactively detect similar conditions earlier and enable quicker mitigation.
