   Crowdcast erlebte ein problem, bei dem gastgeber live und aufnahmen erschienen, aber die teilnehmer konnten die sendung nicht sehen. Ingenieure identifizierten die Ursache schnell als überlastete Datenbank. Um den Dienst wiederherzustellen, wechselten sie die Datenbankkonfigurationen, was zu einer kurzen (~5 Minuten) Site-Unterbrechung führte, bevor das Ereignis zurückgesetzt und der Dienst wiederhergestellt wurde. Wir verbessern die Infrastrukturbereitstellung für Großveranstaltungen, um ähnliche Probleme in Zukunft zu vermeiden.

1. 29. September 2025 um 23:19 UTCresolved

   All systems are back to normal. During a busy period on Crowdcast, part of our system that checks if everything is healthy started timing out because of the extra traffic. Those timeouts made our infrastructure think something was wrong, so it restarted parts of the system. These restarts caused brief disruptions that affected access to event data and led to slower or interrupted service for some live events. We’ve adjusted how the health checks work so they’re more tolerant during heavy traffic and have added safeguards to keep the system stable.
