  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.
