A vulnerability mitigation update required replacing compute cluster nodes, which, when applied, rolled back due to a timeout. This caused some workloads \(API, delta, builder\) to become temporarily unavailable and triggering some undesired secondary effects, including ungracefully terminating a few long lived instances servicing VPN connections. While the rest of the services came back reasonably quickly within a minute or so, it too around one and a quarter hours to re-establish VPN tunnels. A scheduled maintenance will be posted later to perform this update during a planned outage window.

Starting around March 11, some cloud builds began failing intermittently with no such image errors. The failures were non-deterministic and affected all architectures. At peak, some users saw around 50% failure rates. We identified and fixed several bugs in the builder's image garbage collector that caused it to over-count freed disk space and run too aggressively, eventually deleting images that in-progress builds still needed. Fixes were deployed between March 19 and April 14, with build failure rates dropping to near-zero after the final deploy. We're continuing to monitor and working on additional safeguards to prevent the garbage collector from targeting images that active builds depend on.

We experienced degraded API performance due to an internal configuration change that unintentionally increased system load, resulting in slower response times and reduced request capacity. Our team identified the issue and rolled back the change to restore stability. A root cause fix has been implemented and deployed aswell. The system has now fully recovered, and services are operating normally.
