On May 7, 2026, at around 5:36 PM PDT, a thermal event at an AWS data center caused a power loss to the hardware in one of the regions where we host our database. AWS continued to report the database as healthy despite it being unavailable, causing our application to repeatedly attempt connections to an unreachable database, which brought the Envoy Dashboard down. Our team restored service by rerouting database traffic to a healthy region.
An internal post-mortem has been organized to analyze the incident and note key learnings and action items. If you have any questions or require additional information, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Support team via hi@envoy.com or contact your dedicated account manager.
