  4. postmortem

    **Dates:** Wednesday, September 2nd 2026, 08:30 UTC - 11:15 UTC. ### **What happened:** Real Device Automated Tests experienced failure to start in the EU Central data center, with elevated error rates reaching nearly 100% for short periods of time. ### **Why it happened:** A deployment led to increased cache misses and elevated load on the underlying infrastructure. ### **How we fixed it:** Service was restored by restarting the application. ### **What we are doing to prevent it from happening again:** Additional resources were allocated to reduce the likelihood of a recurrence in the short term. In the long term, we will optimize the performance of resource intensive tasks and introduce dynamic scaling.
