1. 17. april 2026 kl. 16.06 UTCinvestigating

   As of 16:00 UTC, we are currently experiencing a slowdown in availability of newly submitted submitted session results in the us-east-1 region. There is no data loss, all saves and submissions are being queued as designed, and the assessments stack remains operational. Delays may currently be experienced using the Data API to fetch session results, and the Reports API to display results. Other workflows that rely on the synchronous use of Data API results may also be affected. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are actively investigating the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

2. 17. april 2026 kl. 16.21 UTCidentified

   As of 16:20 UTC, Learnosity has increased database performance and we are processing queued sessions rapidly. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are continuing to actively investigate the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

3. 17. april 2026 kl. 16.28 UTCmonitoring

   As of 16:25 UTC, we have resolved the slowdown in processing session results and all sessions are being scored normally. We will continue to monitor for a further 30 minutes before closing this incident report. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are continuing to actively investigate the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

5. 4. maj 2026 kl. 17.23 UTCpostmortem

   ### Affected Systems and Regions On 2026-04-17, Learnosity experienced a service degradation impacting availability of newly submitted session results for a small subset of customers in US-East-1. The issue began at approximately 13:54 UTC and was resolved at 16:24 UTC. The total duration of customer impact was approximately 2.5 hours. ### Investigation Service degradation was detected following the accumulation of submitted sessions in the async scoring queue, This was caused by elevated CPU utilization when heavy load coincided with a background data migration task that had been running for several days on the affected EC2 instance. This reduced message processing throughput, leading to queueing of sessions.  ### Resolution Learnosity CloudOps engineers responded by scaling session processing node EC2 instances, and corresponding database proxies, to maximum allowable capacity. The migration task was also stopped, which further reduced CPU pressure and allowed message processing throughput to recover. The session scoring backlog was fully cleared by 16:24 UTC. ### Prevention Learnosity is implementing the following measures to mitigate: * Pre-flight health checks and safeguards are being introduced to prevent migration tasks from running during busy periods of production usage. * Enhanced monitoring is being applied to detect backlog growth and database contention, and apply remedial action more quickly

   As of 13:30 UTC, we are currently experiencing slow downs affecting the Live Progress report in the us-east-1 region. Atypical use of eventbus may also be affected, such as custom reports/implementations. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are actively investigating the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

2. 16. april 2026 kl. 15.23 UTCresolved

   As of 14:30 UTC, the Live Progress report event degradation issue in the us-east-1 region has been resolved. Additional capacity processed the event load and these systems are operating normally. Brief additional latency during this scaling may have been introduced for users of Learnosity's premium Firehose feature, but we've seen no evidence that this affected customers. This, too, was resolved once scaling was complete. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams will follow up with a post mortem once we have completed root cause analysis and finalized any next steps or preventative measures required. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

3. 4. maj 2026 kl. 14.39 UTCpostmortem

   ### Affected Systems and Regions On 2026-04-16, Learnosity experienced a service degradation impacting the Live Progress report for a small subset of customers in the us-east-1 region. The issue began at approximately 13:12 UTC and was resolved at 14:40 UTC. The total duration of customer impact was approximately 88 minutes. ### Investigation The issue was detected following elevated error rates on the load balancer serving the eventbus service. Investigation determined that an unhealthy condition within the EC2 instances led to elevated CPU utilization and memory pressure within the Auto Scaling Group, resulting in application instability and repeated service restarts. Inconsistent recovery caused traffic to concentrate on a subset of hosts, further elevating error rates. A secondary effect of the instability was increased request pressure on downstream dependencies. ### Resolution Service was restored by stabilizing the affected EC2 instance and restoring consistent application availability across the Auto Scaling Group. Load distribution normalized once all instances returned to a healthy state. ### Prevention Learnosity is implementing the following measures to mitigate: * Improve service startup and dependency handling to ensure consistent recovery behavior * Review resource thresholds to reduce the likelihood of similar instability * Enhance monitoring to detect and respond more quickly to similar conditions

4. 10. februar 2026 kl. 17.08 UTCpostmortem

   ### **Affected Systems and Regions** On 2026-02-04, Learnosity experienced an availability incident impacting Questions API access for customers in the AMER region. The issue began at approximately 18:02 UTC and was formally declared resolved at 18:51 UTC. The total duration of customer impact was approximately 49 minutes. ### **Investigation** The issue was first detected when the Items API attempted to initialize the dependent Questions API. The incident was traced to a misconfiguration within the content delivery network servicing the AMER region, causing a SSL certificate error.. During a certificate management task, the distribution responsible for serving [_questions.learnosity.com_](http://questions.learnosity.com) was configured with an SSL certificate that did not match the _\*.learnosity.com_ domain nomenclature. This caused browsers and client systems to reject connections to the affected subdomain. ### **Resolution** Once the issue was identified, the response team updated the affected distribution to use the correct SSL certificate. Service was fully restored after the change was completed. ### **Prevention** Learnosity is strengthening certificate deployment and validation processes to ensure that domain mappings are verified prior to rollout. Additional safeguards have been added to prevent cross-domain certificate assignments and to improve monitoring for sudden traffic drops that may indicate certificate-related failures.

   Learnosity services in VA are continuing to be partially impacted by the major AWS outage. AWS first reported the incident at 7:11 UTC As of 14:50 UTC they are continuing to work on its full resolution, but have again set their impact level to "Degraded". The AWS Health Status dashboard where updates are being posted by the AWS team can be found here: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status Overall, the error rate has fallen and has stayed below what we saw earlier in the day and we have been successful in slowly scaling up the infrastructure, but we're still seeing some issues stemming from the the ongoing AWS outage as we attempt to bring online some new instances, and we have begun to see an uptick in errors. These have included errors associated with Data API, Feedback Aide, and the delivery of adaptive assessments, delays in scoring and video encoding, as well as other smaller spikes across different systems. While the overall error rate remains low, Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are actively monitoring the outage and manually intervening where possible to mitigate the issues we're facing. In spite of our best efforts it is likely that the APIs may not be fully operational in VA until AWS's service is fully restored to normal operation, but we are taking every step within our power to try to minimize the disruption to our services.

2. 20. oktober 2025 kl. 15.30 UTCinvestigating

   AWS is going through late-stage recovery of a major outage in US-East-1 bringing down most of their services. Learnosity APIs were stable and unaffected in isolation, but some impact cascaded to Learnosity (such as availability of assets from CloudFront). The full extent of the incident is unknown at this time. NOTE: Up until the time of this writing (10:05 UTC), this included impact to sign-in services that prevented us from accessing our StatusPage. We immediately posted banner notifications in our Support Portal, and those banners will remain visible until we've been able to verify that service has been restored for sufficient time. Incident History: As of 7:00 UTC, AWS experienced a major outage. While Learnosity APIs were fully operational, some Learnosity services use AWS and were affected. These included access to our Support ticketing system (the Learnosity-hosted Help guides were unaffected), and availability of CloudFront-hosted assets, but other systems may have been impacted as well. As of 10:00 UTC, AWS has restored services and access to Learnosity-adjacent features is becoming available relatively quickly. Learnosity Support will monitor AWS for a further 30 minutes before calling this issue resolved. We will follow on with an update and resolution at that time, or sooner.

2. 20. oktober 2025 kl. 11.23 UTCresolved

   As of 11:20 UTC, AWS services appear to have been stable for approximately an hour. Learnosity APIs--including services affected by the AWS outage (such as CloudFront)--appear to be fully operational. At this time we are labeling this issue resolved. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams will continue to investigate impact from this incident and follow up with a post mortem once we hear from AWS. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

   As of 21:15 UTC, Learnosity APIs are being impacted by a temporary outage from our Math partner, Desmos. Authoring or Editing content with Desmos questions or features, or initializing assessments that contain Desmos questions or features, can prevent the Author API or Items API from initializing. Specific reports that display question content, such as the Session Detail by Item report, can also fail to initialize Learnosity APIs are not otherwise impacted, so content that does not include Desmos features are not affected. Until we learn more, we will list APIs that may experience knock-on effects from this temporary Desmos outage. However, as most customers will not experience any issues, we will not list these APIs as down. Desmos and Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are actively investigating the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

2. 2. oktober 2025 kl. 22.14 UTCmonitoring

9. 19. september 2025 kl. 19.14 UTCpostmortem

   ### Affected Systems and Regions On 19 August 2025, Learnosity experienced degraded performance in our analytics stack, affecting session data availability in US-East-1 for a subset of customers. This affected the Reports API and Data API, with no other stacks affected, and no data loss.  ### Investigation Monitoring detected a rapid increase in unprocessed and retried messages, along with elevated lock contention in the sessions database. The root cause was traced to a customer implementation issue generating an extraordinarily high number of submissions. This drove excessive retries, magnifying actual traffic volume.  The use of time-ordered v7 UUIDs for session IDs, normally handled without issue, became problematic under this contention. Uniqueness checks on each session ID required more resources and triggered a succession of temporary deadlocks. These deadlocks would usually self-resolve, but the amplified traffic prevented recovery, turning a minor issue into a sustained queue blockage. ### Resolution Once the issue was identified, Learnosity moved the customer to a dedicated, isolated sync queue, preventing cross‑tenant impact while we investigated. We applied targeted rate limits for the isolated service to protect the database, and drained the backlog. Where safe, long‑running queries were terminated to free locks and allow forward progress.  To support faster diagnosis, Learnosity enabled detailed deadlock logging and expanded metrics around message retries, abandonment, and per‑session activity. Learnosity also worked with the customer to adjust implementation settings, reducing combined saves and submits by two orders of magnitude. Session IDs were also switched to v4 UUIDs which simplified uniqueness checks further preventing deadlocks. Immediately after these changes were put into use, queues began to rapidly recover, and normal processing resumed. Most sessions for the subset of affected customers saw short delays, while the most significantly delayed session took ~6 hours before final persistence. Throughout, we identified no data loss. ### Prevention To prevent recurrence, we are: * Implementing targeted load tests and contention simulations to replicate high-parallelism patterns. * Reviewing customer identifier schemes for session IDs and auditing usage across all customers \(initial checks confirm none of our Top 50 customers currently use v7 UUIDs\). * Analyzing adoption of per-tenant fair-use queues \(or equivalent fair-share policies\) to cap burst throughput from a single tenant and protect shared infrastructure.

1. 8. august 2025 kl. 13.55 UTCinvestigating

   As of 13:40 UTC, we began investigating a possible issue affecting manual update jobs to session response scores, sessions statuses, and session metadata in the US-East-1 (VA) region. We saw a brief buildup in the queue for these jobs, the queue processed as expected, and is now empty. However, we're investigating further, out of an abundance of caution, to see if there are any unexpected causes for the short queue buildup. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are actively investigating the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

2. 8. august 2025 kl. 13.57 UTCinvestigating

   As of 13:55 UTC, all manual update jobs have been executed and the jobs queue is empty. Requests to manually update session response scores, session statuses, and session metadata should execute as expected. We are still investigating possible reasons for the blip. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are continuing to actively investigate the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

3. 8. august 2025 kl. 14.19 UTCresolved

   As of 14:10 UTC, we've found no negative behavior in the manual update processes and attribute the short burst of jobs to uncharacteristic testing of the new manual grading workflow. The jobs queue functioned as expected, ensuring no loss of requests, and the jobs were processed in a timely fashion. Learnosity will continue to monitor this activity for a further 60 minutes, but we are calling this resolved at this time. We apologize for the unwarranted alert. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

4. 8. august 2025 kl. 14.19 UTCpostmortem

   At 13:40 UTC on 8 August 2025, we noticed a brief backup of asynchronous jobs affecting manual session updates in the US-East-1 \(VA\) region. Possible jobs including manual updates to response scores, session statuses, and session metadata. The queue mechanism worked as expected, and all requests were processed in short order. Out of an abundance of caution, we raised an alert while systems remained operational, but found nothing of concern during our investigation. We hope the unwarranted alert was not a significant distraction.

   As of 14:00 UTC, we are still investigating an issue affecting the availability of session information in US-East-1. Both Data API and Reports API are experiencing extended delays and intermittent failures in returning session results. Authoring and Assessment APIs appear to be unaffected at this time and all session submissions are being successfully queued. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are continuing to actively investigate the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

3. 3. marts 2025 kl. 15.06 UTCinvestigating

   As of 15:00 UTC, we are continuing to investigate the issue. Data and Reports API are still impacted. Assessment and Authoring APIs remain unaffected. Assessment submissions are being queued and will be processed as the system works through any backlog queue. Note that if the Data API or Reports API is used in a preliminary/synchronous assessment delivery workflow, this will likely have a knock-on affect when initializing assessments. Initializing any assessment API directly is unaffected at present. Learnosity Support and Systems Engineering teams are continuing to actively investigate the issue, and will follow on with an update and resolution as soon as possible.

4. 3. marts 2025 kl. 15.20 UTCmonitoring

   As of 15:15 UTC, all services have been restored. All queued messages have been processed and session information should now be available.

   ### Affected Systems and Regions On March 3, 2025, we experienced a temporary service slowdown impacting the availability of session information in the US-East-1 region. The issue began at 13:19 UTC and was resolved by 15:15 UTC. The Data API and Reports API experienced delays and intermittent failures when returning session results. Authoring and Assessment APIs were unaffected with no data loss. ### Investigation We identified a recently introduced inefficient database query was causing unnecessary strain when handling extremely large data sets. This led to delayed responses to the Data API sessions endpoints. This further led to delays or unavailability in select reports via the Reports API. Additionally, some timeouts and safeguards that should have triggered earlier did not activate as expected. ### Resolution To quickly restore performance: * We optimized the affected queries, improving efficiency and reducing database load. * We scaled up the impacted systems to immediately process the backlog. * We fine-tuned system timeouts and connection limits to prevent similar issues in the future. Following these fixes, all services resumed normal operations. ### Prevention To prevent future occurrences: * We have permanently updated our database handling methods to ensure more efficient query execution. * We are enhancing automated monitoring to detect and respond to database slowdowns before they impact customers. We appreciate your patience and remain committed to delivering a seamless experience.

5. 14. januar 2025 kl. 17.25 UTCpostmortem

   **Affected Systems and Regions** On 2025-01-09, Learnosity experienced a brief partial outage affecting our analytics stacks, specifically the Reports API and Data API in the AMER region. The issue began at 13:30 UTC and was resolved at 14:06 UTC, lasting 36 minutes. All other API's were unaffected and there was no loss of data. **Investigation** We discovered that a large number of atypical, inefficient Data API queries requested by customers were taking too long to complete. This prevented other queries from running in a timely manner, creating a backlog. It was determined that an additional database index would significantly improve the response times of these types of queries. **Resolution** Immediately upon discovering this issue, the impacted database instances were successfully scaled up to ease the backlog of requests. The additional index was implemented and all remaining queries were processed quickly. Affected APIs returned to normal operations, and further monitoring ensured the issue was fully resolved. **Prevention** Following further testing, the new index is working well and has become a permanent part of the system. We are also adding new automated monitoring and regression testing to ensure similar requests perform as expected.

5. 2. maj 2024 kl. 02.25 UTCpostmortem

   On 2024-04-30, Learnosity suffered a service interruption in the AMER \(US East-1\) region that affected a subset of customers. The incident began at 12:52 UTC and was resolved at 14:18 UTC, lasting 1 hour and 26 minutes.  We apologize for the impact that this had on our valued customers and learners.  We have learned, and will continue to learn, from this incident and have taken steps to ensure this issue doesn’t repeat. **Details of Incident** Performance issues were initially detected by our Site Reliability Engineering team, who executed our escalation process in raising Tier1 and subsequently Tier2 in short order. While assessment and authoring load were typical, we saw a massive spike in Data API activity from a single client. This was limited to the **get\_/itembank** endpoints set typically used for authoring. The single client had never used these Data API endpoints before, went from zero to equal to all other clients combined in a short period of time. This is a particularly laborious query necessary for authoring use. Calling this at such a high volume and frequency created a hotspot and contention on the cluster of four itembank delivery databases, which handle a subset of customers. When we’re under high volume of typical traffic we operate on about 30% peak database load. The atypical traffic outlined above put the databases at full capacity. While all of our assessment critical systems auto scale, the itembank delivery databases are over provisioned to have significant headroom, and as such don’t auto scale. Auto scaling of database instances can introduce a risk if anything goes wrong while scaling, and as such when designing the system our team determined manual scaling of these itembank delivery databases was the more reliable option. This atypical activity led to resource starvation of the Data API, with knock-on effects to the assessments stack. Data API impacts included limiting access to authoring and session data, as well as slowing down session scoring and follow-on dispatching of scoring events via Learnosity Firehose. During the incident, we experienced degraded performance with up to 30% of requests not succeeding. Assessment impacts included cases where the Data API was used in assessment delivery, and in some cases limited new initializations \(i.e. starting a test\). For the avoidance of doubt, all save and submit calls were successful without data loss. **Resolution** Once the atypical traffic was identified, temporary request rate limits were put in place to allow our remediation efforts to quickly scale to support the increased level of activity and process backlog. Once all services were again operating at optimal levels, the temporary request limits were removed. **Additional Analysis and Prevention** We are making the following changes as a result of this operational event, to prevent this from happening again. * We identified that the baseline rate limit configured for the itembank endpoints was not appropriate - and have reviewed and configured this appropriately. * We are reviewing improvements and resource allocations of the Data API to handle atypical usage patterns and increase resilience. * We are continuing to perform analysis to determine what other preventative measures are appropriate to implement.

9. 14. december 2023 kl. 09.47 UTCpostmortem

   On 2023-12-13, Learnosity suffered a major outage that began at 13:22 UTC and was resolved at 18:29 UTC, lasting 5 hours and 7 minutes. Its primary impact was on the assessment stack in the AMER region, with partial impact to authoring and select analytics APIs due to the use of assessment functionality in some preview features. Initially, we thought this incident was a scaling issue because errors were linked to the creation of new virtual servers to meet daily traffic. However, we ultimately discovered that the problem was unrelated to scaling. The root cause was actually a faulty configuration management client, `salt v3006.5`. A [bug in the most recent version of Salt-stack](https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/65691), released at 2023-12-12 at 21:38, caused a failure in our `cloudinit` process when spawning new EC2 instances. From 13:05 PM UTC, as new instances were launched, the `salt` bug caused the new machines to fail a health check and fall into a loop of retried launches. **Resolution** Immediately after this discovery, we were able to hard code to a prior version of `salt`, removing the regression. New EC2 instances were successfully  provisioned and scaled to comfortably handle all traffic. All APIs returned to normal operations soon after. **Additional Analysis and Prevention** Upon further investigation, it was discovered that our system became vulnerable to the `salt` regression due to error handling dependencies. To facilitate fast and reliable scale up, our image build process is designed so that dependencies are pre-installed at build time, with only minor applicable config changes required at instantiation. Further investigation discovered that a prior fix for a build dependency issue inadvertently moved the installation of the affected `salt` package from _image build_ time to _instance launch_ time. This meant that the creation of new instances no longer relied on the original image version of `salt`, instead the newest `salt` version was installed during the scaling process.  We are making the following changes as a result of this operational event, to prevent this from happening again. * We are conducting a full review of the launch process to ensure there are no other unknown launch-time dependencies. * We are adding additional guard rails in the build process to catch any dependency regression at the imaging phase before production use.

   As of 17:55 UTC, we identified an adaptive Redis cache that was intermittently refusing a small percentage of connections. Self-hosted adaptive makes extensive use of this cache due to the need to store more state information supplied by the self-hosted client. We replaced the cache database, routed all traffic to the new instance, and saw an immediate, dramatic reduction of refused connections. We've monitored for approximately 90 minutes and all activity indicates normal operation of all APIs. We are resolving this issue and will continue to monitor customer comms.
