postmortemApr 15, 2026, 8:18 PM UTC
Communities experienced approximately 4 minutes of downtime starting at 5:47 PM EDT. The issue was caused by an unexpected database crash triggered by an AWS infrastructure bug in the RDS service. Our team identified the issue within minutes and services recovered after the database restarted. We escalated the underlying bug to AWS support \(case 177568754700521\) and are monitoring for recurrence.
