Before: not present
After: Amazon Web Services (AWS) is currently experiencing an outage which is affecting our ability to connect with multiple third-party integrations.
The FireHydrant application is operational; however, runbook steps associate with multiple integration partners may fail or be delayed. This includes Atlassian (Jira, Confluence, Opsgenie), PagerDuty, Slack, Zendesk, and Zoom. Additionally, there may be delays with alert delivery via SMS and Whatsapp.
See https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status for more details.
We will resolve this incident once we have received confirmation the AWS issue has been resolved.

After: We are continuing to monitor the AWS outage and it's affect on our upstream providers and integration partners.
Impacts to both Twilio and SendGrid are causing delays or failures in the ability to deliver alert notifications via SMS, Whatsapp, and email. Additionally, Slack messaging is affected.
**FireHydrant push notificaiton are unaffected by the outage and are the best option for you to continue receiving alerts.**
You can monitor the availability of our upstream providers as follows:
- Twilio: https://status.twilio.com/
- SendGrid: https://status.sendgrid.com/
- Slack: https://slack-status.com/2025-10/51d84290cf5c8e22

Before: not present
After: Our feature flag provider, LaunchDarkly, is experiencing an outage. This is causing a number of downstream issues, namely an inability to send ad-hoc alerts via /fh page or "Send an Alert" in the UI.
We are currently putting in a fix to bypass the Signals-related feature flags to restore manual paging.
Automated alert ingestion is still working so alerts generated from a team's alert rule or existing runbook steps remain operational.
You can follow LaunchDarkly's outage status here: https://status.launchdarkly.com/

After: Currently testing the fix to restore manual paging via Signals
AddedUpdateresolved#13
Before: not present
After: LaunchDarkly is slowly recovering, but in the meantime we're simultaneously restoring functionality for flag-based features.
You can continue to monitor their status here: https://status.launchdarkly.com/
AddedUpdateresolved#14
Before: not present
After: We've restored manual paging via Signals. Paging via alert rules and runbooks remained operational throughout this incident. Push notifications continue to be the best way to ensure alert notification delivery given continued service degradation for upstream providers effecting SMS, Whatsapp, and email.
Additionally, we patched an issue where users with a custom role were unable to access FireHydrant as expected.
AWS is also reporting that service recovery continues to improve. You can continue to monitor their status here: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status
AddedUpdateresolved#15
Before: not present
After: LaunchDarkly is reporting significant improvements, and we are seeing our feature flags being successfully evaluated.
AWS is also reporting that they're recovering.
We're continuing to monitor the situation, as many of our upstream providers and integration partners are still impacted.
We'll provide material updates as they occur.
