We've now fully recovered from an outage that began this morning Eastern time.

Timeline

9:57 PM (June 7)

• We received an alert that the website was down.
• Connectivity issues were intermittent.
• The problem did not last long enough for any proper debugging to occur.

5:41 AM (June 8)

• We received an alert that the website was down.
• Notifications did not fire as expected, no one on our ops team was notified.
• We sleep.
• Based on our traffic data, the site came back online a few moments later.

11:41 AM

• We received an alert that the website was down.
• Investigations began.
• Private networking between our hardware was failing when going to our primary database.
• Servers were rebooted.

12:09 PM

• Our ISP provided a notice that a hardware failure had occurred on one of our racks with the private networking equipment.
• We opted to not failover the site to our secondary nodes as we had expected the failure to be resolved quickly.

5:19 PM

• Our ISP indicated the hardware had been replaced.
• Private networking between our hardware was working again.
• Out of Games came online with 50% capacity.

5:27 PM

• We started a reboot process on our hardware.
• One of our servers no longer responded to ping requests.
• Out of Games was online at 30% capacity.

5:49 PM

• A rescue operation from our ISPs datacenter team started on the down server.

6:39 PM

• Bad CMOS battery replaced on downed server.
• Server booted successfully.
• Out of Games remained at 30% capacity.

9:56 PM

• Fixed an operating system issue that was preventing Out of Games services from communicating with each other.
  • Docker Swarm was having a fit with our networking cards.
  • This was a previous issue we encountered upon updating our docker software and had thought it was resolved.
  • Changes did not persist correctly on server reboots.

What We've Learned

• Confirm whenever you make changes to your operating systems they will actually persist on reboots.
  • Just one of those things everyone should be more careful about. Document everything. 
• We should have disabled CMOS checks on our hardware and instead let it simply log the issue.
  • This would have enabled our hardware to come back online without any real issue.

Also, the site was quite slow during Summer Game Fest, and I never got a chance to dive into it because of how much stuff was going on. I believe the cause of this was failing network equipment at our ISP.

Escape a sprawling, flooded city overrun with surreal interdimensional horror in this fast-paced action side scroller from Heart Machine and Devolver Digital. Possessor(s) is a fast-paced action side scroller with combat inspired by platform fighters, a story told through dangerous characters, set in a deep interconnected world ready for exploration. Play as Luca, the host, and Rehm, her less-than-cooperative counterpart, as they explore a quarantined city ripped apart and flooded by an interdimensional catastrophe. Their only hope of survival is by learning to co-exist.

In Tenjutsu, you play as a renegade yakuza hellbent on defying her former associates and loosening their grip on the Secret Garden City. Revealed at this year's Devolver Direct, this fast and fluid rogue-jutsu is the latest game from Sébastien Benard, designer of the acclaimed Dead Cells. Four powerful crime syndicates control the city, ruling with an iron fist. To defeat them, you must master a brutal brawling system and build a diverse arsenal of weapons, upgrades, and martial arts techniques, breaking their hold on the streets in a flurry of violence. The city is reborn as these sinister organizations fall to your fists, tackled in any order you wish. The ruined streets become vibrant and full of life, and you can spend gathered resources in shops and restaurants to help you on your quest. Shape the city to fit your play style, unlocking new weapons, combat moves, and new areas. Just don't take too long: the longer you spend preparing, the stronger your enemies will become.
