Welcome to Staffbase Status
We continuously monitor outages, slowdowns, and other issues. Should there be any interruptions in service, we'll provide status updates here.
The good news first: We were able to identify and fix the cause of the incident on our media server. As we reported on our status page at 2:46 p.m. (CET), the app's performance should have stabilized by now and media files should be displayed again.
We would like to use this message to share the technical background of the outage, as well as our next steps.
This morning, at around 8:40 a.m. (CET), our cache storage for media content was partially unavailable on the German system. This storage is used to allow media content to be retrieved and uploaded. At this point, the incident was taken over with the highest priority by a developer team, so that a complete outage could be prevented. However, the availability of individual content was unfortunately slower or could no longer be guaranteed.
During the investigation, our development team then decided to remove and recreate the relevant media server instances so that a prolonged outage could be prevented. This resulted in media content and some areas of the app being unavailable for a short period of time. Unfortunately, we were unable to identify the initial cause of the outage at this time.
At 2:20 p.m. (CET), the new services finally ensured that the content was accessible again.
We will continue to monitor our systems accordingly. As a next step, we will start an internal post-mortem process to analyze the exact cause and initiate the necessary measures to avoid such incidents in the future.
