Console is not available

Incident Report for Neo4j Aura

Postmortem

What Happened

On March 6, at 10:04 AM UTC,  the Aura Console became inaccessible following a recent deployment. The deployment included changes related to user organizations and switching to an org memberships entity. This change caused the console to become inaccessible for a short period.

How the service was affected

A deployment to the Aura Console introduced an issue that caused an unexpected increase in backend requests related to access validation. This led to elevated CPU usage, which impacted the availability of the console and dependent services. We rolled back to a previous version to restore access. The rollback ensured the full restoration of access to the Aura Console, resolving the core issue within the incident window

What are we doing now

We are currently implementing a comprehensive strategy to bolster system resilience and prevent future recurrence. Our immediate actions include integrating stricter and more robust safeguards into the deployment pipeline. Crucially, we are significantly enhancing our validation processes to proactively detect and flag any potential performance impacts before code is promoted to the production environment
