Incident report 04-22-2021

On April 22nd, 2021, some users experienced service downtime, which started at around 5:40 pm CET and lasted until 6:20 pm CET (11:40 am - 12:40 pm ET).

The cause of the problem

A DDoS attack caused this problem. Our engineering team saw this in our real-time monitoring systems and reacted immediately. 

How this affected some of our users 

There were spaces that users couldn't join due to server overload caused by this DDoS attack.

Our team resolved the issue in 40 minutes. 

Solution

The solution was to identify and block sources of malicious traffic as well as scale our backend infrastructure and improve load distribution to handle several times more requests than usual.

To avoid similar problems in the future, we've prioritized our work to address our systems' threat detection and scalability earlier than was previously scheduled.

Everyone who has been affected by this issue - we bring you our apology and commit to avoiding such problems in the future. Thank you for staying with us!

New soundwave and some fixes

We have changed the sound wave around your bubble, and thanks to this, we have significantly reduced the load on the user's processor. Hurrah!


Now SpaceID has become a Space URL - which is more understandable for users.


We've also fixed a few bugs. 😉
