BrowserMob Load Testing Disruption on 05/19/2011

Announcements, Load Testing No Responses »
May 202011

We apologize for the inconvenience but we’ve had several recent disruptions, some of extended length, to our services.  On Tuesday evening (5/17), we pushed out a release that caused this disruption and unfortunately, it manifested negatively yesterday. During this time,  you may have experienced either slow performance, or error pages reporting “Service Temporarily Unavailable”.

We are still investigating the root cause of this issue and the quality of the release. But in the meantime, we have rolled back to a more stable environment.   This is high priority for us and will notify you again once we have more information.

May 192011

Are you burning the midnight oil trying to finalize that mobile application or website with less than 24 hours before launch? If so, you’re not alone!

The night before a major mobile launch is often when every person involved in the initiative is on high alert, testing functionality and working to release it on time and fully tested for prime time.

This was the inspiration for our upcoming Twitter chat on Thursday, May 26, hosted by Webmetrics and led by the founder of BrowserMob, Patrick Lightbody.

Apr 222011

After a long night of reviewing the data logs and trying to recover what we lost on 04/21, we anticipate that we can recover about 9 hours of missing data during yesterday’s outage. Obviously, we were hoping to be more successful and looking to recover 100% of the data. But for now, we are able to ascertain and recover the data lost between these time stamps:

  • 04/21/2011 at 12:47AM PT to 2:36AM PT
  • 04/21/2011 at 8:36AM PT to 3:47PM PT

We do know that Amazon Web Services posted a message on their status page at around  8AM PT notifying us that was a severe issue:

Apr 212011

We have been experiencing a disruption in our monitoring services, due to an issue we’ve been wrestling with all morning: Amazon EC2 is having a severe service disruption. You can follow the progress here:  http://status.aws.amazon.com/.

We are working through these issues in conjunction with Amazon EC2’s updates. In the meantime, here’s the latest on our situation:

  • Our website has some stability issues.
  • We have disabled running load tests from Washington DC.
  • At this time, we know that some monitoring data has been lost but still limited on the scope of the loss. We will do our best to retain what we can but our primary focus is to ensure that we get downtime alerts out to you.
