Incident Summary
On Monday, July 6, some clients experienced intermittent slowness and connectivity issues while accessing the platform. Our support team received the first reports at 9:51 AM ET. Our team immediately began an investigation and identified the cause as an issue within our network failover mechanism. The issue was resolved at 2:05 PM ET.
Impact
Root Cause
Investigation traced the issue to a failure in the network's high-availability failover mechanism. As a result, a backup network device briefly began responding to traffic alongside the primary device, creating a conflict that caused unpredictable routing and dropped connections for affected clients.
Resolution
The backup device was taken offline and restarted in a controlled manner. Following this action, the underlying errors cleared, network routing stabilized, and platform performance returned to normal.
