    Symptoms

    On 21 October 2024 Sentry could not ingest data in US SaaS from 9:42 AM to 10:06 AM PT, and the status page reported elevated errors for ingestion. The same failure had also happened on 4 and 16 October.

    Trigger

    In each of the three incidents an ingestion region saw an increase in backlogged traffic; the trigger was different each time.

    Root cause
    Capacity exhaustion

    Contributing factor
    Automation amplificationExcessive blast radius
    Action items
    • Create more, smaller edge regions to reduce the chance of cascading failures, adding one region each in South America, North America and Europe
    • Change the autoscaling rules to use stronger signals than CPU load
    • Scale down more slowly so that iowait-based backlogs do not trigger scale-down events
    • Improve the metrics the edge produces to refine the autoscaling rules and their sensitivity
