Timeline of updates

  1. identified

    We've identified a recent code change as the likely cause of elevated Sidekiq job execution errors on the low-urgency-cpu-bound shard, which may delay processing of some background jobs. Mitigations are in progress. We'll continue to update as soon as the mitigation is merged and deployed.

  2. resolved

    A recent code change was rolled back and the error rates have subsided since it was merged. Our team has been monitoring and performance has returned to expected levels. This incident is now resolved. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/production/-/work_items/22335 (opens in new tab)

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.

How the archive is checked, and what it cannot prove.

Impact, status and times are the vendor’s own, as last archived. View on status.gitlab.com (opens in new tab).
