Vexera may not respond to some commands

    We just resolved the issue!

    We implemented a fix and currently monitoring the result.

  • Identified
    Identified

    Vexera may currently not respond to some commands. Re-sending the command again may work.

    This is due to a lapse in processing resources that occurred following a rollout. This lapse of resources is causing Vexera to backlog events continuously, causing a very high ping until it became unresponsive.

    We have made the decision to drop ~20% of received messages on purpose to partially mitigate the issue and keep Vexera sort of responsive while we work on restoring everything. As such, some commands may be ignored. Re-sending them should work.

    This maintenance is the first of two-phase maintenance planned to fix recent instability (see the announcement in our server for more information).

    Vexera will be brought down for a few minutes while we make some preparatory changes and migrate our database server to a new host.
    We expect the downtime to be 1 hour or less (until Vexera is available again in all guilds).
    Vexera Pro will also be unavailable for less than 5 minutes shortly before the start of the maintenance on the regular instance. At least one instance will therefore be available at any point in time.

    This maintenance will not fix the underlying issue by itself but will allow us to work towards the next maintenance.

    All affected shards have been restarted. Vexera is fully operational. We'll keep monitoring the situation for another few minutes until we mark the issue resolved.

  • Update
    Update

    The recovery process is taking longer than expected due to a huge amount of shards (~700 out of 1535) not having the correct guild count. We are still in the process of restarting all affected shards. Current ETA is 21:45 (UTC). Thank you for your continued patience while we are working towards a resolution to this issue.

    Vexera is currently unresponsive on all servers. Unfortunately, this issue occurred at night for the whole staff team, and there are no available developers at the moment. We hope to resume normal service during the early hours of Wednesday morning (UTC timezone).

    Maintenance has completed. Vexera should have recovered in most guilds since 12:30 UTC. We are currently handling an issue in a subset of guilds were Vexera is still unresponsive. These guilds should have recovered in the next 10-15 minutes.

    Our hosting provider has planned a maintenance on April 21st at 10:00 UTC, to replace a network equipment that has issues.

    During this maintenance, both Vexera and Vexera Pro will be temporarily offline. The maintenance is planned to take approximately 2 hours.

Vexera unresponsive
  • Resolved
    Resolved

    Vexera was unresponsive for about 10 minutes (18:44-18:53 UTC). This issue is due to the deployment of a bogus update.

    The update was quickly tested on our beta instance before the deployment, and no issues were found (we used only very simple tests/commands). Edit: See at the end
    The issue was therefore only identified when the update got deployed to our production instance, as alarms about high errors rate fired.

    We immediately initiated a rollback, but an issue in our orchestrator prevented it from automatically receiving the rollback instruction, delaying the recovery of Vexera.

    Please accept our apologies for this outage 😦

    Edit: After investigation, it looks like we had almost zero chances to identify the bug.
    The bug occurs only if the user sending the message doesn't have any configuration option set in our database (eg. if you never used +userlocale or such commands). We actually have user config set on our accounts on both our dev and beta instances…
