   ###** Описание проблемы, влияние и решение** 22 октября, примерно с 14:45 до 16:13 UTC, пользователи наших точек присутствия во Франкфурте (FRA) и Мумбаи (BOM), возможно, видели повышенные частоты ошибок и задержки на вызовах API Presence. Другие сервисы PubNub не пострадали. Проблема началась во время обновления программного обеспечения сервиса Presence во Франкфурте. Новая версия не была совместима с предыдущей версией, в то время как обе работали одновременно. Это привело к тому, что серверы Presence в регионе неоднократно перезагружались, а запросы, которые не могли достичь здорового сервера, возвращались с ошибками. Наша команда определила обновление как причину и откатила его назад. Обслуживание вернулось к норме примерно в 16:13 UTC. Смягчение мер и рекомендуемые будущие превентивные меры Мы исправляем несовместимость, прежде чем это обновление будет выпущено снова. Мы также добавляем тесты, которые запускают старые и новые версии бок о бок перед каждым выпуском Presence, развертывая обновления по одной зоне доступности за раз и улучшая нашу процедуру отката, чтобы она не запускала несовместимые версии вместе.

   ###** Описание проблемы, влияние и решение** С 19:26 UTC 21 октября до примерно 02:04 UTC 22 октября некоторые конечные точки PubNub обслуживали сертификаты TLS, которые наш центр сертификации отозвал. Клиенты, которые проверяют отзыв сертификата, могли не подключиться к затронутым конечным точкам во время этого окна. Наш орган по сертификации обнаружил, что около 400 000 выданных им сертификатов содержат информацию о политике, которая не соответствует опубликованной политике в отношении сертификатов. Сертификаты не были скомпрометированы, но отраслевые правила требуют отзыва и замены таких сертификатов. Сертификаты PubNub для \*.pubnub.com, \*.pubnub.net, \*.pndsn.com и \*.pubnubapi.com были среди них и были аннулированы 21 октября. Наши сертификаты замены не были развернуты на всех наших конечных точках до тех пор, пока отзыв не вступил в силу. Клиенты, которые не проверяют отзыв сертификата, не пострадали и не были подключены к источнику SDK по умолчанию [ps.pndsn.com] (http://ps.pndsn.com). Мы были предупреждены конечным пользователем одного из наших клиентов. Мы развернули сертификаты на замену во всех регионах, завершив их примерно в 02:04 UTC 22 октября. Фамилии и дата истечения срока действия сертификата (7 января 2027 года) неизменны. Смягчение мер и рекомендуемые будущие превентивные меры Мы добавляем мониторинг, который предупреждает нашу операционную команду, если какой-либо сертификат, который мы обслуживаем, отозван. Мы также меняем процесс замены сертификатов, чтобы замены были развернуты для производства сразу после выпуска, и чтобы обновления сертификатов быстрее доходили до всех регионов.

   ###** Описание проблемы, влияние и решение** 9 октября 2026 года, между 17:30 и 18:20 UTC, мы наблюдали повышенные ошибки HTTP 5xx, влияющие на конечную точку Подписки для подмножества клиентов. Некоторые запросы на подписку могут быть неудачными, а подмножество сообщений может быть отложено или не доставлено в режиме реального времени. Никакие сообщения не были потеряны, и клиенты с включенной устойчивостью сообщений могли получить затронутые сообщения из истории. Инцидент был вызван неожиданным увеличением трафика из-за большого объема нагрузочного теста против набора ключей разработки, который не имел ожидаемых ограничений. Возникшая в результате нагрузка временно исчерпала память в какой-то общей инфраструктуре, что и вызвало проблему. Мы стабилизировали пострадавшую инфраструктуру, применив ограничение скорости к набору клавиш, генерируя избыточную нагрузку. Сервис вернулся в норму к 18:20 UTC. Смягчение мер и рекомендуемые будущие превентивные меры Мы применили временный лимит скорости публикации, чтобы сдержать неожиданный трафик и восстановить обслуживание при сохранении доступности затронутого набора ключей. Чтобы помочь предотвратить подобные инциденты, PubNub добавляет дополнительные проверки, чтобы убедиться, что меры безопасности правильно установлены для обнаружения и автоматического ограничения необычно большой нагрузки, прежде чем это может повлиять на другой трафик, разделяющий ту же инфраструктуру. Мы также обновляем операционные процедуры для абонентской памяти и автоматического масштабирования изменений, чтобы гарантировать, что корректировки емкости остаются эффективными во время смягчения последствий инцидентов.

   ###** Описание проблемы, влияние и решение** Во вторник, 25 августа 2026 года, в 12:10 UTC, наш внутренний мониторинг предупредил нас о проблеме, когда очень небольшое подмножество сообщений в пределах одной зоны доступности одного региона может не быть немедленно доставлено абонентам в том же регионе. Все сообщения обычно сохранялись в службе PubNub Persistence, поэтому данные сообщений не были потеряны. Трафик в или из любого другого региона или АЗ не был затронут, и никакие другие услуги PubNub не были затронуты. Клиенты не сообщили о воздействии. ###*Корневая причина** В ходе планового внутреннего нагрузочного тестирования была удалена группа внутренних серверов маршрутизации. Из-за недостатка конфигурации их сетевые адреса не были полностью удалены и оставались кэшированными на нашем уровне публикации. По большей части это не представляло проблем. Однако впоследствии один адрес был переназначен на несвязанный внутренний компонент, который обычно отвечал по одному и тому же протоколу и порту. Поскольку этот ответ оказался успешным, издательский уровень не получил ошибки, и сообщения, отправленные на этот адрес, были неправильно маршрутизированы. Перезапуск затронутых серверов очистил устаревшие адреса в 13:25 UTC. Смягчение мер и рекомендуемые будущие превентивные меры После того, как затронутые серверы были идентифицированы, был выполнен перезапуск для очистки устаревших адресов маршрутизации. После расследования, которое подтвердило первопричину, исправление, обеспечивающее правильное удаление устаревших внутренних адресов маршрутизации, было развернуто на всех издательских серверах по всему миру 25 августа 2026 года в 22:00 UTC.

   ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  At approximately **13:55 UTC on Aug 14, 2026**, we observed elevated publish errors and message replication failures in our publish/subscribe service, which also caused latency in other PubNub services globally. Customers may have experienced increased publish error rates, delayed or missed message delivery, delayed message persistence, and increased latency for Functions and Events & Actions workflows. ‌The root cause of the incident was an unusually large concentration of global publish traffic that was not limited by our throttling layers. That traffic created resource pressure in the publish and replication layers, increased load on storage systems, and caused downstream processing delays in dependent services. We mitigated the issue by adjusting targeted traffic controls, increasing capacity for affected publish and replication components, and isolating the high-volume traffic pattern to reduce broader platform impact. The issue was resolved at approximately **14:15 UTC on Aug 14, 2026**. ‌This issue occurred because of an issue with our automated controls specific to this exceptional traffic pattern. As a result, the increased load affected multiple services before a mitigation could be fully applied.  ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures** To prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future, we have isolated the identified high-volume traffic pattern onto dedicated infrastructure and also increased baseline capacity for the affected components across our PoPs. We are also further strengthening our traffic detection and management processes for this exceptional load pattern so it will be identified and contained earlier without cascading impact across dependent services.

   ## Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution  At 19:50 UTC on June 10, 2026, we observed a small fraction of publishes originating from US-EAST-1 failing to replicate to subscribers globally. We removed the degraded publisher pod from service and the issue was resolved at 21:21 UTC on June 10, 2026.  The root cause of the incident was triggered by a single process that fell into a degraded state where it continued receiving inbound traffic and passing health checks, but traffic sent outbound from the process was failing at an abnormally high rate. Our automated health check/recovery system did not auto-detect and replace the degraded process because its health check API reported itself as healthy.  ## Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures  To prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future, we are improving the data within our health check APIs to return more complete performance metrics over a rolling time window. We are enhancing the issue detection logic to detect more patterns that infer process failure, even if the process itself is reporting as healthy.

   ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  On March 24, 2026, at 19:27 UTC, one network shard experienced intermittent connectivity affecting a subset of customers. The affected users may have experienced elevated latency and temporary error responses related to their subscription requests. The instability was caused by an atypical surge in message volume within a shared processing environment that had improperly configured resource limits. This led to high resource utilization and triggered automated system restarts. PubNub Engineering resolved the issue by implementing the proper limits after expanding infrastructure capacity to accommodate the increased load. Service was fully stabilized once the environment was tuned to the new traffic profile. ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  **Infrastructure Tuning:** Adjusted automated scaling parameters to provide greater headroom for rapid traffic fluctuations. **Enhanced Traffic Management:** Deployed refined monitoring heuristics to better isolate and manage high-volume traffic patterns without impacting shared resources. **Dynamic Resource Allocation:** Accelerating the rollout of enhanced vertical scaling technology to allow individual processing nodes to adapt more fluidly to demand spikes. **Operational Coordination:** Strengthening internal protocols for high-capacity events to ensure large-scale traffic shifts are proactively transitioned to dedicated environments.

   ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  On January 1, 2026 at 00:00 UTC, we observed elevated latency in our History service across multiple regions. Customers may have experienced delays in message persistence and history availability during this period. The issue was caused by a mismatch in newly created persistence tables. Specifically, required columns for message metadata were missing from the new tables, resulting in failed write operations and backed-up queues. This created downstream pressure on our storage systems, leading to higher latency in history processing. We mitigated the issue by manually applying the correct updates across all affected persistence spaces. After the updates were applied, message processing returned to normal and queue latency cleared. This issue occurred because we did not have proper controls in place to ensure schema consistency for newly generated monthly persistence tables. ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  To resolve the issue, we manually applied the required schema updates globally. In the coming days, we will update our change management processes to ensure schema changes are correctly applied to all future monthly tables. We are also auditing our schema tracking and automating validation to prevent inconsistencies across environments. These improvements will ensure that future table generation includes all necessary columns and reduce the risk of similar issues impacting History service performance.

    ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  On October 20th, 2025 at 07:06 UTC, our monitoring systems alerted us to elevated error levels across multiple PubNub services in the IAD region \(US-East\). Some customers may have experienced increased error rates and latency, as well as intermittent issues with Presence service availability across IAD \(US-East\), SJC \(US-West\), and HND \(AP-Northeast\). We quickly determined the issue was caused by a broader infrastructure outage affecting our cloud provider \(AWS\) in the IAD region. We initiated regional failover procedures and re-routed new connections to alternate regions. However, due to undefined steps in some of our failover processes and delays accessing some tools due to the provider issue, existing connections for some services remained degraded for longer than expected. To restore full service, we manually reset established connections, re-routed Presence traffic to Frankfurt \(EU-Central\), and brought on additional infrastructure in other regions to absorb traffic. Errors were mitigated by 09:20 UTC. Later in the day, additional regional load in US-West triggered a new wave of service degradation. We responded by isolating the US-East region again and scaling up balancer capacity in US-West. PubNub services were stabilized by 13:20 UTC, and remained in a monitoring state while our infrastructure provider worked to fully resolve the underlying issue. By 22:35 UTC, our provider reported full restoration of service. After validating stability in US-East, we completed rebalancing traffic by 23:48 UTC, and declared the incident resolved. ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  While this incident was caused by an external infrastructure outage, we’ve identified several opportunities to strengthen our internal readiness and response procedures. We are consolidating and centralizing our regional failover procedures to ensure they are immediately accessible and complete for all production services. Any gaps in our process documentation for newer services will be addressed to ensure readiness before they are fully adopted into production. Additionally, we are reviewing and resolving issues with internal tooling, including inventory and DNS resolution problems, which made mitigation more difficult during the incident. These improvements will ensure faster and more consistent responses to future infrastructure-level disruptions, and reduce potential impact on customer traffic across regions.

We quickly determined the issue was caused by a broader infrastructure outage affecting our cloud provider \(AWS\) in the IAD region. We initiated regional failover procedures and re-routed new connections to alternate regions. However, due to undefined steps in some of our failover processes and delays accessing some tools due to the provider issue, existing connections for some services remained degraded for longer than expected. To restore full service, we manually reset established connections, re-routed Presence traffic to Frankfurt \(EU-Central\), and brought on additional infrastructure in other regions to absorb traffic. Errors were mitigated by 09:20 UTC. Later in the day, additional regional load in US-West triggered a new wave of service degradation. We responded by isolating the US-East region again and scaling up balancer capacity in US-West. PubNub services were stabilized by 13:20 UTC, and remained in a monitoring state while our infrastructure provider worked to fully resolve the underlying issue. By 22:35 UTC, our provider reported full restoration of service. After validating stability in US-East, we completed rebalancing traffic by 23:48 UTC, and declared the incident resolved. ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  While this incident was caused by an external infrastructure outage, we’ve identified several opportunities to strengthen our internal readiness and response procedures. We are consolidating and centralizing our regional failover procedures to ensure they are immediately accessible and complete for all production services. Any gaps in our process documentation for newer services will be addressed to ensure readiness before they are fully adopted into production. Additionally, we are reviewing and resolving issues with internal tooling, including inventory and DNS resolution problems, which made mitigation more difficult during the incident. These improvements will ensure faster and more consistent responses to future infrastructure-level disruptions, and reduce potential impact on customer traffic across regions.

   ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  On October 17, 2025 at 04:51 UTC, some customers may have experienced elevated latency and error rates with the Pub/Sub service in the IAD region \(US-East\). Our engineering teams began immediate investigation and identified a spike in errors related to a recent update to the Pub/Sub service. We began formal incident response and initiated rollback of the service deployment shortly thereafter. The issue was fully resolved by 06:50 UTC, and rollback across all regions was completed by 08:00 UTC. The issue occurred because a misconfiguration in the release caused incorrect behavior in the channel cleanup logic. Additionally, our alerting configuration did not include coverage for the synthetic test failures that would have surfaced this issue sooner, delaying detection. ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  To prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future, our engineering teams have written a simpler and more reliable replacement for the faulty logic. That code is currently undergoing rigorous testing before being reintroduced in a future release. We are also addressing the lack of proper alerting that contributed to a delayed response. Synthetic tests have been reviewed, and appropriate alerting will be implemented to ensure similar regressions are detected earlier. In parallel, we are updating our development and testing processes to catch such issues before code reaches production. Lastly, we are conducting a refresher training on our incident response process to ensure faster execution and coordination in the future.

   ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  At 08:40 UTC on October 6, 2025, we observed elevated error rates in the Events & Actions service in our EU-Central \(FRA\) region, which led to delays in processing publish-triggered events. Some customers may have experienced slower-than-expected execution of their event workflows during this time. We identified a malformed payload that was causing backend consumers to fail when attempting to process the queue. We deployed an updated build with improved parsing logic, which cleared the blockage and restored normal service. The issue was fully resolved by 11:00 UTC on October 6, 2025. This issue occurred because our event processing service did not correctly handle a malformed message format, which caused the processing queue to stall. Additionally, the alerting system in place was not configured to detect this failure mode promptly, delaying our response. ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  To reduce the risk of similar delays in the future, we are refining our alert thresholds and naming conventions to improve early detection and clarity during response. We are also reviewing validation logic to ensure malformed messages are consistently isolated before reaching backend queues.

   ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  At 18:14 UTC on September 7, 2025 we observed increased error rates and latency for our Presence service in our San Jose, Virginia, and Tokyo regions. We increased capacity in those regions and the issue was resolved at 18:17 UTC. This issue was a recurrence of the issue [experienced on September 2, 2025](https://status.pubnub.com/incidents/1n8xk6w5y9lk), where a bug in one of our APIs allowed a request to execute an operation that exceeded assumed limits in extreme cases, causing out-of-memory conditions for the Presence service. ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  In the previous instance of this issue, we placed restrictions on the API in question; those changes were not restrictive enough, which allowed for this recurrence. We have corrected that oversight, as well as increased memory capacities in this area of our system as an additional safeguard.

   ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  At 18:09 UTC on September 2, 2025 we observed increased error rates and latency for our Presence service in our San Jose, Virginia, and Tokyo regions. We increased capacity in those regions and the issue was resolved at 18:16 UTC. This issue occurred because a bug in one of our APIs allowed a request to execute an operation that exceeded assumed limits in extreme cases. In this case, a large number of such requests were executed that resulted in out-of-memory conditions for the Presence service. ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  To prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future we have enforced the intended limit on the API in question. We have also added additional testing and monitoring in this area.

   ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  On August 1, 2025 at 22:15 UTC, we observed elevated 5xx errors across the Presence service in multiple regions. Customers may have experienced intermittent failures when attempting to receive or update presence messages. We identified a subset of channels exhibiting highly concentrated activity patterns and applied a targeted configuration change to rebalance traffic across the cluster. The issue was resolved by 23:15 UTC on August 1, 2025. This issue occurred because our infrastructure lacked proactive safeguards to evenly distribute presence traffic across nodes in scenarios where a small number of channels receive a disproportionately high number of presence updates. This resulted in resource saturation on some nodes without triggering early mitigation. ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  To prevent a similar issue from occurring in the future, we have applied a sharding configuration to affected channel patterns, which redistributes load more evenly across infrastructure components. This approach reduces the risk of overload caused by concentrated traffic. In the coming days we will be: * Reviewing long-term suitability of the sharding configuration applied during this incident. * Investigating automation options for dynamically applying sharding logic based on real-time usage patterns. * Enhancing internal tooling and monitoring to better detect and respond to load imbalance scenarios before they cause service degradation.

   ### **Problem Description, Impact, and Resolution**  At 14:43 UTC on July 22, 2025, we observed elevated latency and service degradation in our Presence system in the FRA region, impacting customers' ability to receive timely presence events. We implemented changes in our infrastructure to mitigate the pressure on the system, and the incident ended at 15:06 UTC on July 22, 2025. Unfortunately, before we were able to conclusively determine and address the root cause, the issue re-occurred from 15:33 to 15:59 UTC on July 24, 2025. The failures started with an out-of-memory condition in some Presence service nodes. The root cause of the memory condition was a caching system—operated by a third-party vendor—that we rely heavily on for this service began responding slowly at first, and later timing out. While nodes that run into critical issues are generally taken out of service and replaced automatically, this issue began affecting our system faster than new capacity could be brought online to mitigate the incident. Furthermore, a bug in a downstream internal system caused it to also experience failures under the pressure due to a misconfiguration in how it retried failed requests caused by the Presence system’s issues. On the 22nd, we took manual action to break the retry cycle, scale capacity, and allow the Presence service to recover. On the 24th, we identified and addressed the root cause at the caching layer. ### **Mitigation Steps and Recommended Future Preventative Measures**  In the short term, we have scaled the capacity of the Presence system and we implemented changes in the affected caching layer to mitigate the issue of the vendor-provided cache system. Longer term, we are working with the vendor to fix their underlying issue, while also exploring alternatives. We also changed the retry configuration to prevent this kind of retry storm from happening again. We implemented monitoring and alerts for this failure mode, to allow us to more quickly identify this kind of issue.
