GitHub: Partial Degradation in Issues Experience
Timeline of updates
- resolved
On June 18, 2025, between 15:15 UTC and 19:29 UTC, the Issues service was degraded, and certain GraphQL queries accessing the
ReactionGroup.reactorsfield returned errors. Our query routing infrastructure was impacted by exceptions from a particular database migration, resulting in errors for an average of 0.0097% of overall GraphQL requests (peaking at 0.02%). We mitigated the incident by reverting the migration. We continue to investigate the cause of the exceptions and are holding off on similar migrations until the underlying issue is understood and resolved.
