We experienced elevated error rates and intermittent performance degradation affecting search traffic due to a combination of infrastructure strain and unexpected automated traffic patterns. The issue primarily impacted search functionality and resulted in multiple brief spikes in server errors.

Systems are currently stable. Error rates have returned to normal levels, and search performance is operating within expected thresholds. We are continuing to monitor closely and further analyze traffic patterns to prevent recurrence.

This issue has been resolved. All systems are operating normally, and error rates and performance have returned to expected levels.

Were seeing an increased error rate on search api requests in the Australia region.

Operations have returned to normal, we are continuing to monitor the situation.

This incident has been resolved.

A subset of BigCommerce customers experienced product listing pages failing to load results due to a template change on the BigCommerce platform (we estimate). The change caused Searchspring’s Snap integration to misinterpret the “Search Results” page as a category, applying an invalid background filter that returned no products. The issue was intermittent and did not affect Searchspring’s core search service. Functionality was restored within minutes, likely following a rollback of the update by BigCommerce.

We have identified an incident that our Search API is currently down, post AWS outage. The team is currently investigating, and identified a potential problem.

We have isolated the problem to be fully related to AWS outages. Indexing, Search functionality and also management console are impacted.

In order to protect our system and make sure we get services back as quickly as possible once AWS outage is recovered, we have to put our Management Console into maintenance mode. Users are blocked from making any changes as of now. Thanks for your understanding during this difficult time!

Updating impact: we have confirmed the impact is confined to the same region (us-east) as AWS has identified. Traffic on us-west and other regions are still fine.

Part of the services are brought back to normal level. We are still waiting on another AWS-dependent vendor to come back to normal before we take Management Console back)

Search API is now back to normal level - we are monitoring

We are currently investigating an issue that is impacting the data structure of some BigCommerce customers. We believe we have found the source of the issue already and are currently working on resolving it.

We identified the issue as being a change in the default delimiter for handing BigCommerce data feeds. This impacted our ability to read the data feed structure for BigCommerce customers. We have corrected the issue and are re-indexing customer's who encountered the error, once the index is complete the problem should be resolved.

The source of the problem has been addressed and all customers who were impacted have either already been re-indexed, or are in the process of indexing. As those indexes complete, your site will function as expected.
