  5. postmortem

    Introduction We would like to share more details about the events that occurred with Phrase between 9:01 AM CET and 9:17 AM CET on March 27, 2025 which led to an outage of all Phrase TMS \(EU\) components and what Phrase engineers are doing to prevent these issues from reoccurring. Timeline 09:01 AM CET: The number of processed requests began to slowly decline. 09:07 AM CET: Monitoring systems alerted our on-call teams about the instability of the environment. 09:12 AM CET: Support tickets started to appear. Our engineers begin investigating the situation. 09:17 AM CET: A faulty component was identified and restarted, which stabilized the environment. ‌ Root Cause One of the caching components nodes became overloaded with incoming traffic. This caused dependent services to experience significant delays while waiting for responses from the cache middleware. ‌ Actions to Prevent Recurrence We are upgrading the caching system to a newer version and increasing the number of cache nodes to better spread the traffic and prevent network congestion.
