Contentstack – Azure EU – Multiple Services Disruption

Incident Report for Contentstack

Update

We are continuing to work on the issue affecting services in the Azure EU region. Our investigation indicates that a long-running background data operation is placing heavy load on our content delivery infrastructure, and publish requests are queuing up as a result. During this time, users may continue to experience delays or failures when publishing content (including scheduled publishes, bulk actions, and release deployments), errors on some Content Delivery API, GraphQL Delivery API, and Sync requests, and delays in webhook delivery.

Our engineering team is actively working to reduce the load and clear the publishing backlog. We understand the impact this may have on your operations and are treating this with the highest priority.

Customer Action: Please delay republishing the same entries repeatedly while this issue is ongoing. Queued publish requests will be processed as service recovers. We will share our next update as soon as we have more information.

Identified

The root cause of the issue affecting multiple services in the Azure EU region has been identified: one of our primary database servers ran into a problem, and publishing activity stalled as a result. Requests to the Content Delivery API Sync endpoint also stalled, because that endpoint depends on the same database to create sync tokens.

Our engineering team has moved traffic to a healthy database server, and services are now recovering. We are still investigating the underlying cause of the server issue. Other regions remain unaffected.

Customer Action: If any publish requests or Content Delivery API Sync calls did not complete during this period, please retry them.

We will share our next update as soon as we have more information.
