Störungsverlauf von Inevent

1. 21. Oktober 2026 um 13:42 UTCidentified

   Am Mittwoch, den 21. Oktober, um 10:00 Uhr EDT (14:00 UTC), werden wir ein Notfall-Sicherheitsupdate auf unsere Server anwenden. Das PHP-Projekt veröffentlicht heute Korrekturen für zwei kritische Schwachstellen (CVE-2026-109618 und CVE-2026-109619). Dies sind Remote-Code-Ausführungsfehler in PHP selbst, die auf der CVSS v4.0-Skala mit 9,2 bewertet wurden. PHP unterstützt etwa 7 von 10 Websites, und das Problem wird als branchenweiter Notfall behandelt. Wir wenden das Update an, sobald es veröffentlicht wird, um die InEvent-Plattform und Ihre Daten sicher zu halten. Was zu erwarten ist: Um den Patch sicher anzuwenden, können wir die Plattform in den Wartungsmodus versetzen, bis das Update abgeschlossen ist. Während dieser Zeit können InEvent-Plattform, API, Ereignisseiten und Apps vorübergehend nicht verfügbar oder langsamer als üblich sein. Ereignisse, die während dieses Fensters laufen, können betroffen sein. Wir halten das Wartungsfenster so kurz wie möglich und posten hier Updates, wenn die Arbeit fortschreitet. Abonnieren Sie diese Seite für Benachrichtigungen. Wenn Sie heute eine Veranstaltung haben und Hilfe benötigen, wenden Sie sich an unser Support-Team. Für weitere Informationen über die PHP-Sicherheitsversion besuchen Sie php.net.

   We are currently investigating degraded performance affecting email sending and intermittent platform responsiveness. Some users may experience delays when sending emails, loading pages, or refreshing certain areas of the platform. In some cases, recently created email drafts or interface updates may take longer than expected to appear. Our engineering team has identified increased platform load and email queue processing as contributing factors. To stabilize the environment, we have temporarily paused part of the email sending daemon while we optimize the related database queries and processing flow. Event registration and core platform data continue to be processed. If an item does not appear immediately in the interface, we recommend waiting a few moments and refreshing the page. We are actively monitoring the platform and will provide another update as soon as additional information is available.

2. 18. Juni 2026 um 22:53 UTCmonitoring

   Platform performance has improved after the earlier traffic spike subsided. Email queue processing has been re-enabled, and we are continuing to monitor database load and platform responsiveness. During the incident, elevated traffic caused increased database utilization, which resulted in slower query processing and intermittent delays across some platform requests. Current load levels are stable, and the platform is operating within acceptable thresholds. Our engineering team will continue monitoring the environment and optimizing the affected database queries and email processing flow.

   We had an issue with AWS auto scaling module that caused our servers to take longer than expected to reach the desired scaling point and that caused our servers to stop responding for a period of 5 minutes (the time that it took to reach the desired scaling point). This behavior is out of the ordinary and we have several scaling procedures running every day. Our team is investigating what caused this momentary issue and will apply a fix.

   We are investigating an issue with Mux (mux.com) Streaming Platform that is rejecting new InEvent Live Studio streams due to an outage on their end. Our recommendation for now is to use Video Conferencing or RTMP modes for customers that need to stream content. Once we have updates from Mux, we will update this incident report.

2. 29. März 2023 um 08:40 UTCinvestigating

   We are still waiting for Mux support to contact us.

3. 29. März 2023 um 09:17 UTCidentified

   Mux has identified the issue and deployed a fix. We will be monitoring the results and update this report soon.

   We are investigating an issue with the European Servers that are causing a response delay and Gateway Timeouts on certain requests.

2. 9. März 2023 um 10:05 UTCidentified

   We have identified a DNS issue that caused our server requests to queue and severely delay their responses on API requests. The API microservices had to wait more than anticipated for a DNS resolution and that caused timeouts with a Gateway Timeout HTTP error. We have deployed another DNS server to be used and this may take up to 30 minutes to take effect and requests starts to normalize. We will be monitoring the resolution development.

3. 9. März 2023 um 10:09 UTCmonitoring

   The DNS servers are now responsive and our Load Balancer is now draining pending requests and flushing old requests in favor of new ones. New API calls will be handled normally and we will be monitoring the results.

4. 9. März 2023 um 10:19 UTCmonitoring

   We are continuing to monitor the servers. The API calls are now 100% responsive and without degraded performance.

5. 9. März 2023 um 10:25 UTCresolved

   This incident has been resolved. Our European Servers are fully operational.

   The Virtual Lobby is unresponsive and we are investigating the reason. The rest of the platform is working normally.

2. 25. Februar 2022 um 21:42 UTCresolved

   We have identified the issue and fixed it. The Virtual Lobby should now open normally on Desktop and also on Mobile devices.

3. 25. Februar 2022 um 21:43 UTCpostmortem

   This issue was caused due to a code deployment we did to add support to custom Push Notifications with dynamic content \(first-name, last-name, email, etc\). This code had, in some circumstances, a loop that would cause your browser tab to crash and freeze completely. We reverted this code and we will evaluate another way to build dynamic content to Push Notifications.

   **Google Firebase** had a major global outage this afternoon that lasted for 6 minutes. This outage impacted our **Virtual Lobby**, but the overall functionality still worked, with limited connectivity to _Chats, Questions, Group Rooms_ and _interactions_. You can check out **Google’s** official statement here: [https://status.firebase.google.com/incidents/Xed5fGf9USDWdzsqN4GX](https://status.firebase.google.com/incidents/Xed5fGf9USDWdzsqN4GX)

1. 13. September 2021 um 14:48 UTCinvestigating

   We are currently seeing a slow scalability response from the InEvent Firebase socket group. We are currently investigating the issue with Google Firebase team.

2. 13. September 2021 um 14:55 UTCidentified

   We have identified the slowness from the Firebase product. We are deploying an alternative with the Native websockets, under Company > Tools. We are currently deploying a fix for UI improvements on the Firebase UI console while Firebase is not responsive. Chat may be offline while the fix is being applied, but video and streaming should work normally.

3. 13. September 2021 um 15:45 UTCidentified

   We currently fixed an autoscaling Redis instance that was not able to redirect the load to a separate system. Redis is used by InEvent to quickly balance its write operations instead of relying only on a traditional SQL database. The following components are still affected: Firebase Web Sockets, which covers the live chat on the Virtual Lobby.

4. 13. September 2021 um 17:07 UTCmonitoring

   The team has concluded the implementation of all temporary solutions on the platform. This includes creating a timeout option on slow connecting sockets and also disabled Redis as a single connection. The web socket chat will remain with limited chat support on the firebase instance until we add support for per instance local connection, which should happen next week. The Redis cache team will be implementing a new permanent solution end of this week, Friday at the latest.

6. 13. September 2021 um 21:16 UTCpostmortem

   ## What is a “Websocket”? Without getting into too much detail, a **Websocket** is a method of network communication that is used for real time applications. We use **Websocket** for real time communication and interaction, and these are the modules that uses the **Websocket** service: * News Feed; * Inbox; * Session Chat; * Session Q&A; * Networking; * Creation of Group Rooms; * Invitations; * Push Notifications; * Live updates \(session settings changes\); * Networking Roulette; ## Issues with Native Websocket and Regular Websocket \(Google Firebase\) We have two Websocket providers, Google Firebase \(realtime database\) and our own implementation \(Native Websocket\). Today we had a large amount of users connecting at the same time and this caused the Websocket servers to halt. Google Firebase couldn’t scale fast enough and the Native Websockets couldn’t handle the scale either. The issue resulted on users having the “Connecting” popup showing up and never disappearing. ## Issues with Caching Server \(Redis\) We had a major outage with our Caching server \(Redis\) that caused the entire platform and backend to go offline. The Redis server clogged up and couldn’t handle the server scaling and load, and this resulted in an overall failure of the platform. The landing page and login page were still operational. ## Fixes implemented For **Native Websockets** we have implemented a manual scale for now and we will work on the autoscaling mechanism to support a large load in the future. If the connection fails, you will still be able to use the Virtual Lobby normally, with limited interaction. For **Google Firebase** we couldn’t implement a fix. We will try sharding the entire operation into multiple micro services for different modules \(Chat, Q&A, etc\), but since they don’t support replicas, it will be hard to scale on large events. If your event has more than 5,000 users, it’s better to use **Native Websockets**. If the connection fails, you will still be able to use the Virtual Lobby normally, with limited interaction. For **Caching Server \(redis\)** we are still implementing a fix but we did deploy a temporary workload that should replace the caching server for now and keep the platform and the backend stable. This is an internal fix and shouldn’t affect the user experience. ## What to expect for this week The platform backend and all its modules should be operational. In case **Native Websockets** or **Google Firebase** fails, you will still be able to access the platform and the Virtual Lobby, but users will have a limited experience without realtime interactions – chat, Q&A and the other modules listed above will not be operational. We are constantly working on improvements and we will announce when we have both realtime **Websockets** fully functional for large events. Meanwhile, we can guarantee that the backend and the Virtual Lobby will be online – even in case of limited realtime experience.

   We encountered issues when using Low Latency with custom domains and we fixed it. The Low Latency Control Room option uses the Amazon AWS IVS technology for Low Latency Streaming (sub 5 seconds) and the 1.3.0 version of its IVS Video.js Player had an issue when working with cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) that resulted in a player with a frozen state (a pitch-black image with a blue play button that didn't work when pressing it). We have updated the player plugin to its newest version (1.3.1) and implemented fixes that will also circumvent CORS issues in the future -- a fallback to the regular iFrame using InEvent's domain in case the custom domain doesn't work (visually indistinguishable for regular users).

2. 20. Juli 2021 um 16:50 UTCpostmortem

   **Affected users:** Events with _Custom Domain_ enabled that used _Control Room_ video modes with the _Low Latency_ enabled. **Workaround:** Disable _Custom Domain_ or change the video latency to _Standard_. **Issue description:** We encountered issues when using _Control Room_ video mode with _Low Latency_ enabled and also using a _Custom Domain_ at the same time. The _Low Latency Control Room_ option uses the [Amazon AWS IVS](https://aws.amazon.com/ivs/) technology for Low Latency Streaming \(sub 5 seconds\) and the 1.3.0 version of its IVS Video.js Player had an issue when working with Cross-Origin Resource Sharing \(CORS\) that resulted in a player with a frozen state \(a pitch-black image with a blue play button that didn't work when pressing it\). We are still not sure if this issue was caused by the 1.3.0 version of the player or if it was an underlying issue with the _playlist url_ and the CORS headers sent by their servers. **Fix:** We updated the player plugin to its newest version \(1.3.1\) and implemented fixes that will also circumvent CORS issues in the future. This solution implements a fallback to InEvent's domain in case the _Custom Domain_ doesn't work - the fallback only affects the Video Player and not the actual parent window \(visually indistinguishable for regular users\). We also contacted AWS IVS support for further assistance. Per our throughout test, the player now works with _Custom Domains_ \(either on event level or company level\) on all browsers.
