    Detection

    Internal alerts fired across multiple data centers showing servers unreachable for an extended period, and customers reported problems with multiple products at the same time.

    Remediation
    • Restarted the route servers in all data centers in phases, starting with the most affected regions
    Action items
    • Hold backend API releases until there is a better way to make sure route data for route servers is contiguous
