Appwrite: Degraded Appwrite Sites due to ephemeral key failures

Timeline of updates

  1. update

    We're investigating degraded performance for Appwrite Sites in all regions. Ephemeral keys are not working, so some sites cannot complete requests that depend on them. We will post an update as soon as we know more.

  2. update

    We have identified the cause. A proactive security hardening change we made introduced a regression that stops ephemeral keys from working. We are preparing a fix and will post an update when it is rolling out.

  3. update

    While we prepare the fix, you can work around the issue by switching your site from the ephemeral key to a standard API key with the scopes your site needs.

  4. update

    We have pushed a fix. Ephemeral keys work again, and Appwrite Sites are fully available in all regions. We're sorry for the disruption.
