Severe service disruption across the platform in EU

Incident Report for Onfido

Resolved

We’re seeing recovery across our internal metrics, and processing has now returned to full capacity. At this time, the issue appears to be resolved.

Our current leading hypothesis is resource contention on a shared Amazon RDS instance that several services depend on, potentially related to a VACUUM operation running alongside a long-running job deleting a large volume of accumulated historical data. We have not yet confirmed the root cause and will continue investigating as follow-up, but service has been restored for now.

We'll be following up with a public post-mortem.
