On the morning of November 5th (approximately 7am EST), Recorded Future’s platform experienced a degradation of system performance which impacted accessibility to various parts of our external API, including our playbook alert API. In addition, this incident negatively impacted end user access to our portal features such as alerts and lists.
Cause:
Too much load on a particular querying service was determined to be the root cause of the service disruption, which required an increase of available resources to remediate.
Remediation / Path Forward:
Within one hour of incident acknowledgement, the Recorded Future platform operations team engaged with our product development team to collectively increase available resources that would allow for optimal performance in the API and portal. Tentative resolution was communicated at 9:41am EST, with full closure of the incident occurring shortly before 11:30am EST.
Long term, performance improvements are planned for release pertaining to our Threat Intelligence Ransomware service, which is responsible for the majority of our long-running queries that contributed to the impact seen during this incident.
