Braze outage history

We are investigating intermittent errors and latency impacting the US07 Dashboard.

This was a recurrence of an earlier issue impacting the Dashboard. A permanent fix has been implemented and the Dashboard has remained stable since. We are confident the issue is now fully resolved. We apologize for any impact.

Our Engineering team are investigating intermittent latency and errors on the US07 Dashboard.

We have identified the issue leading to intermittent dashboard errors and latency and engineers are working to resolve the issue.

Engineers have implemented a fix and the Dashboard has been stable for over 30 minutes. We are continuing to monitor the issue to ensure full resolution.

The Dashboard has continue to remain stable and the issue is now resolved.

We are currently investigating an issue with the US 01 and US 03 clusters.

Between 11:30 ET and 12:55 ET, some customers experienced elevated error rates. Braze engineers identified the issue and resolved it by rolling back a recent change and applying database optimizations. Error rates returned to normal shortly after each fix was applied, and they have remained stable for the past hour. This incident is now resolved.

We are currently investigating degraded performance in our EU02 cluster, which is causing delays in Currents processing for a small subset of customers. No data has been lost, and the majority of Currents data continues to flow normally. Our team is actively working toward a resolution and will provide updates as they become available.

We continue to investigate degraded performance in EU02. We have identified the root cause of the underlying latency, which stemmed from multiple Currents connectors failing to gracefully restart after routine maintenance, but appearing in a healthy state in our monitoring system. Those specific servers build significant backlogs while in this state. We have completed a graceful restart, and have spun up additional resources to process through the backlogged items more rapidly. At this point ~95% of data is flowing normally, while up to ~5% of our connectors, impacting a subset of customers, continue to experience latency. We see throughput significantly improved due to config changes, and will provide an update in 1 hour or when we have an updated timeline.

We continue to make progress clearing the remaining backlog on EU02, improving our performance, and decreasing overall latency. We expect to be caught up within the next hour, although a small number of events may take slightly longer to fully process. The remaining impact is limited to less than half a percent of our overall traffic. We'll provide another update once we're fully caught up.

This incident is resolved. As of 15:18 ET / 19:18 UTC, we have fully processed the backlog of jobs, and our EU02 Currents connectors are all again processing within normal latency ranges. No data was lost, and all Currents events have been sent to their destinations.

At approximately 7:30 AM ET, we became aware of an AWS networking outage in the US-WEST-2 region affecting network connectivity between 6:55 AM ET and 8:00 AM ET. AWS has since resolved the underlying issue. During the impact window, some customers may have experienced intermittent delays and latency in email delivery. Mail is now being delivered normally. As queue depth increased, some customers may have experienced residual delays in message delivery. These delays have been resolved as of 2:40 PM ET today. This disruption originated within AWS infrastructure and was not caused by any component of the Braze platform. For further details on the AWS incident, please refer to the AWS status page: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status

We are actively investigating the issue and will provide updates as more information becomes available.

A fix is being deployed for the issue affecting the Braze AI Operator, where users were seeing the error message: "Connection unstable - Check your Wi-Fi or internet signal and try again." We are seeing error rates improve and are continuing to monitor closely to confirm full resolution. We will provide a further update once we can confirm the issue is fully resolved.

The issue impacting the Braze AI Operator, where users were seeing the error message: "Connection unstable - Check your Wi-Fi or internet signal and try again," has been fully resolved. The fix has been deployed and error rates have returned to normal levels.

Meta, a third-party, is currently experiencing an issue impacting WhatsApp services. During this time, WhatsApp messages may experience latency. Campaign and Canvas creation or modification may experience errors and latency when utilizing WhatsApp templates. Audience sync to Facebook may also experience errors and latency during this period.

Meta's services appear to be stabilizing. We are continuing to monitor the situation and will provide a further update once full service has been restored.

Meta has recovered from the earlier issue impacting WhatsApp services, and full service has now been restored. WhatsApp message delivery, Campaign and Canvas creation or modification using WhatsApp templates, and Audience sync to Facebook are all operating normally.

Starting at 1:00 PM ET, customers on our US-01 and EU-01 clusters are experiencing elevated latency affecting campaign and Canvas processing, data ingestion, and message sending. Our engineering team is actively investigating, and we will provide updates as the situation develops.

Our engineering team continues to investigate the elevated latency. We will provide another update in 30 min or sooner if there are any changes.

Our engineering team has implemented a change, and we are beginning to see improvements in latency across campaign and Canvas processing, data ingestion, and message sending on US-01 and EU-01. We are monitoring the situation closely.

Latency and error rates have remained at normal levels across all services following the implementation of our fix. This incident is resolved.

Starting at 11:45 PM ET, Braze customers on our US05 have been experiencing latency across campaign/canvas processing, data processing, and message sending due to an ongoing issue with an upstream provider (AWS). We are working on a fix. Please see https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status for more details.

We are continuing to experience delays in Campaign & Canvas Processing, Data Processing, and Message Sending. Additionally, Dashboard navigation is intermittently erroring. We are continuing to work on a fix while we await updates from AWS. Please see https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status for more details.

We have implemented a fix to mitigate the impact of the ongoing AWS incident in Availability Zone (use1-az4) in the US-EAST-1 region. At this point, latency and error rates have returned to normal levels for all services. Additionally, AWS is reporting early signs of recovery. Please see https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status for more details.

Latency and error rates have remained at normal levels for all services, post-implementation of our fix, and this incident is resolved. We will continue to monitor the overall system health until AWS reports full recovery. Please see https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status for more details.

We have identified a third party issue causing Agent Console auto models to error. Our engineering team is actively working to remediate the issue.

Our engineering team have released a fix and Agent Console auto models are now recovering. We are continuing to monitor the situation.

Following continued monitoring by our engineers, Agent Console auto models have remained stable. This incident is now resolved.
