~~This incident has been resolved. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we addressed this issue. A detailed root cause analysis will be shared as soon as it is available.~~

On October 22, 2026, from 13:05 to 15:20 UTC, our event streaming platform was degraded resulting in elevated job processing latency spikes of 19-35 seconds and elevated job processing times of 4m – this resulted in delayed Actions workflow and step results (up to 13m), notifications (20m) and repository push events (12m). Recovery for repositories began at 14:32, with Actions recovery beginning at 14:59. The issue reoccurred at 16:26 again impacting Actions runs, repo push events, and notifications. Recovery began at 17:16 and completed at 2:07. The incident was caused by a significant increase in load coupled with client connection storms during a deployment overloading our Kafka event streaming brokers. To prevent future recurrence, we have expanded the affected cluster, shifted traffic to less loaded clusters, and implemented tunable client reconnect backoff.

Archive proof

Rewindex commits each version of an incident it captures to a daily checkpoint, chains it to the day before, and has the checkpoint timestamped by FreeTSA and DigiCert. That proves this record existed by then and has not been changed since, by anyone, Rewindex included.
