🛠️ Scheduled database maintenance [ ⚠️ READ-ONLY MODE ]

Resolved — The issue has been resolved.
Monitoring — Starting from August 9th at 16:00 UTC, our platform was unable to send emails to customers. This affected all system-generated emails, including account verification and billing notifications.
Email delivery was restored today, August 10th, at around 14:30 UTC, and emails are now being sent normally. No emails have been lost: messages generated during this period have been queued and are being delivered.
We are monitoring the situation and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Issues sending emails to customers

Resolved — A node in our production Kubernetes cluster became unresponsive, causing a brief disruption to some services while workloads were automatically rescheduled to healthy nodes.
The duration of the disruption was about 8 minutes.

Increase in error rate and response time

Resolved — Closing this.
Monitoring — Starting from 8:15 AM UTC we received alerts about customers not being able to upload new assets in the media area of their project.
This issue only affected uploads made from the administrative area. Uploads performed via the JavaScript client were not impacted.
The issue was traced to a recent deploy. We identified and reverted the problematic changes at 9:20 AM UTC. The issue has been resolved and asset uploads are functioning normally.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

Asset uploads temporarily unavailable

Resolved — Closing the pinned alert on status
Monitoring — A bug prevented daily bandwidth and API call metrics from being saved between January 7 and 12. 
The data was not lost — it has been aggregated into January 13&#39;s totals.
Daily metrics will be recorded normally starting January 14.
We&#39;ve added regression tests to prevent this from recurring. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Daily usage metrics not recorded for January 7–12

Resolved — All issues affecting uploads to DatoCMS using Cloudflare R2 in the EU region have now been fully resolved.
Uploads are operating normally again across the default EU R2 storage as well as custom storage configurations. We are no longer seeing errors related to this incident.
Monitoring — The issue affecting uploads to DatoCMS using Cloudflare R2 in the EU region appears to be resolved at this time.
Uploads are currently working as expected, including on the default Cloudflare R2 (EU) storage. We are continuing to monitor the situation closely to ensure stability.
Investigating — We’re currently investigating an issue affecting the ability to upload new assets to DatoCMS.
The issue impacts Cloudflare R2 buckets in the EU jurisdiction, which is the default storage configuration.
Uploads to custom storage solutions are working as expected, indicating the problem is specific to Cloudflare R2 in the EU region.
Our team is actively investigating the root cause and working with the relevant providers to restore full functionality as quickly as possible. We will share further updates as soon as we have more information.

Issues Uploading New Assets

Resolved — On December 2 at 13:13 CET, our API was unavailable for 9 minutes during a deployment, causing errors when accessing the CMS interface.
What happened
During a routine database migration deployment, code that depended on a not-yet-created database table was accidentally included. This caused the API to fail until we identified and rolled back the changes.
Prevention
We&#39;re implementing stricter code review checks to ensure migration-only deployments don&#39;t include dependent code, and adding automated tests to catch this type of issue before deployment.
We apologise for the disruption and appreciate your patience.

Incident Report - API Outage on December 2, 2025

Resolved — Post-mortem by Cloudflare: <a href="https://blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-2025-outage/">https://blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-2025-outage/</a>
Resolved — The outage should be resolved.
Monitoring — As of 14:42 UTC (15:42 CEST/06:42 PST), Cloudflare believes the issue to be resolved. All DatoCMS services should be back up.
We will continue to monitor, just in case.
If you need help, please email <a href="mailto:support@datocms.com">support@datocms.com</a>.
Monitoring — Services are gradually coming back up, but we don&#39;t know yet if this is a stable fix or if there will be further downtime.
APIs, datocms-assets.com, dashboard, project admin area, and forum are back up for the time being.
EDIT: As of 14:42 UTC, Cloudflare believes services are restored: <a href="https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/8gmgl950y3h7">https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/8gmgl950y3h7</a>. We will keep monitoring to be sure.

🛠️ Scheduled maintenance [ ⚠️ DOWNTIME REQUIRED ]

Resolved — Monitoring completed
Monitoring — Between 07:18 UTC and 07:28 UTC a faulty deploy caused degraded performance on our infrastructure. Customers might have noticed increased error rates when trying to access the admin interface, CMA (REST API) and CDA (graphql API).
We reverted the deploy and we are monitoring the situation

Increased error rates

Resolved — On August 4th, 2025, starting from 14:00 UTC, some customers reported issues building their Gatsby projects that use our gatsby-source-datocms plugin due to records being missing from their GraphQL responses, despite being present in the CMS admin area.
The issue was related to a recent change in our code that caused pagination issues with the records fetched by our gatsby-source-datocms plugin. This prevented some records from being visible in the Gatsby GraphQL responses.
A rollback of that change was deployed on August 5th at 7:15 UTC.
A regression test has been added to ensure that this particular issue with pagination won&#39;t happen again.

[Retrospective] Gatsby project build failures caused by missing records in GraphQL responses

Resolved — The developers traced the issue to an auto-scaling issue in a part of our infrastructure, where a cluster wasn&#39;t properly adding more resources as quickly as needed in order to keep up performance under load. We&#39;ve since tweaked the scaling configuration and it should not happen again. Our apologies for the slowdown!
Resolved — Several customers reported intermittent API performance degradation starting from about 1530 UTC (1730 CEST, 8:30am PST) lasting about an hour. Performance appears to be restored now, but we will continue to monitor the situation and investigate the underlying cause. Please email <a href="mailto:support@datocms.com">support@datocms.com</a> if you are still experiencing any performance issues.

2025-07-15: Performance degradation

Resolved — The incidents should be resolved.
Monitoring — On 2025-06-12, both Cloudflare and Google Cloud started having broad outages:
 <a href="https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/25r9t0vz99rp">https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/25r9t0vz99rp</a>
 <a href="https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/ow5i3PPK96RduMcb1SsW">https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/ow5i3PPK96RduMcb1SsW</a>
This is in turn impacting the availability and performance of some of our services, both in the CMS and the API. It doesn&#39;t seem like a full outage yet, but general slowdowns so far.
These are in turn also affecting our image CDN: <a href="https://status.imgix.com/incidents/ww7rgnbpkqg7">https://status.imgix.com/incidents/ww7rgnbpkqg7</a>
And our videos CDN: <a href="https://status.mux.com/incidents/8l2vdkxgs0pp">https://status.mux.com/incidents/8l2vdkxgs0pp</a>
This is an evolving situation and we&#39;ll post updates as we can.
It is extremely uncommon for major different internet providers to have simultaneous broad outages like this... we are not sure what is going on either, but we will try to post any information we get.

Thank you for your understanding.

Resolved — Postmortem: we made some changes in our Cloudflare configuration to enable a higher cache hit ratio. We relied on the fact that Cloudflare explicitly states that they support URLs up to 16KB long: <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/limits/#request-limits">https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/limits/#request-limits</a> Turns out it&#39;s not true: we asked for more info from Cloudflare; in the meantime, we reverted our optimization.
Monitoring — Our services experienced increased response times for 12 minutes between 4:25 CEST and 4:37 CEST today. The issue was promptly identified and resolved by our engineering team.
Please note that the status page graphs incorrectly show a +50-minute degradation period due to a misconfiguration in our reporting system. This does not reflect the actual duration of the incident. The reporting system has been corrected. All services are now operating normally with regular response times.

Response Time Degradation

Resolved — The issue has been resolved.
Investigating — PDFs served from datocms-assets.com are currently showing up as image thumbnails rather than PDF files for Chromium-based browsers (Chrome and Edge). Firefox and Safari are not affected.
A current workaround is to append <code>?skip-default-optimizations</code> to the end of the URL, like:
<a href="https://www.datocms-assets.com/123456/123456789-your-file.pdf?skip-default-optimizations">https://www.datocms-assets.com/123456/123456789-your-file.pdf?skip-default-optimizations</a>
That should allow the PDF to load normally.
We are working on a permanent resolution and will update here as soon as we can.

PDFs rendering as thumbnail images on Chrome & Edge

Resolved — We&#39;ve hotfixed the issue again for now. Sincerely apologize for the regression. We&#39;ll be more careful next time.
Identified — The issue is intermittent, and the login is working again for the time being. We are working with our third-party partner to resolve the underlying issue.
Identified — The issue has resurfaced and the login page is having issues again. We are working on it. Sorry!
Our APIs are not affected.
Resolved — This issue should be resolved.
Monitoring — Login should be working now after the latest hotfix. Please close your browser and try again.
We&#39;ve temporarily disabled a problematic script that was causing this, and will roll out a full fix as soon as we can. We don&#39;t expect any additional downtime from the fix.
Investigating — We’ve received and confirmed some reports about the login page (<a href="https://dashboard.datocms.com/login">https://dashboard.datocms.com/login</a>) not working, resulting in a hanged browser window.
We are trying to find a fix. The problem seems to be intermittent and related to how we handle some third-party network issues.
<ul>
<li>The best temporary workaround seems to be to block posthog.com in your adblocker (if you have one) or browser inspector or system hosts file.
</li>
<li>If you can’t do that, sometimes forcibly reloading the page (you might have to close the whole browser and try again) several times in a row will work. The issue seems to be intermittent.
</li>
</ul>
Our APIs do not seem to be affected. Your websites should continue to work.
Devs have been notified and we’ll update as soon as we can.

The actual maintenance impact should be contained to 15 minutes starting from 2024-12-15T09:00:00Z (UTC).

Scheduled database maintenance [DOWNTIME REQUIRED]

Resolved — This issue can be considered resolved
Monitoring — Between 2024-11-07 12:57 UTC and 13:03 UTC customers have noticed an increase of error rates when accessing their projects admin interface, CMA endpoint and CDA endpoint.
This was caused by a temporary increase of activity on one of our databases.
The situation went back to normal at about 13:03 UTC and we are monitoring the situation.
Cached graphql queries in our edge network were not affected by this.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Resolved — Our upstream partner published their post-mortem (Root Cause Analysis (RCA)) about this downtime. You can read the full post here: <a href="https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2684">https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2684</a>
Summary:
On October 8, 2024 from 16:27 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to 22:10 UTC, and again on October 9, 2024 from 13:06 UTC to 16:36 UTC, a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) caused routing failures in a single partition of Heroku’s Common Runtime infrastructure in the EU Region. This resulted in increased error rates and latencies for some clients connecting to some customer applications hosted in that partition. The Salesforce Technology team worked with our upstream infrastructure provider to mitigate the immediate impact of this event, and to put additional network-level protections in place to improve resilience.
Resolved — Heroku resolved the issue: <a href="https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2685">https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2685</a>
We are still waiting for their post-mortem message about these two incidents.
Identified — The upstream provider is working on a fix
Investigating — The upstream provider is currently investigating the issue. This is their new status page issue: <a href="https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2685">https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2685</a>
Investigating — It looks like Heroku is having the same problem again. We have already contacted them.
Resolved — We are waiting for Heroku&#39;s post mortem in order to collect more information about the downtime
Resolved — The upstream issue has been resolved and services are fully restored. Their last update:
<blockquote>
Starting at 4:27 PM UTC on October 8th , 2024, customers experienced increased error rates and latencies on customer applications hosted on common runtime in EU Region. Heroku engineers investigated and mitigated the impact at 9:52 PM UTC on October 8th , 2024. All application have fully recovered by 10:10 PM UTC.
</blockquote>
Monitoring — Services (CMA, UI, CDA) appear to be coming back up and are accessible at normal performance again.
However, we still have not yet received an official confirmation of resolution from the upstream provider. We will continue to monitor until an official resolution is announced.
Identified — The upstream provider is still investigating the issue. We will continue to post updates here, or you can see their status directly at <a href="https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2684">https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2684</a>

The actual maintenance impact should be contained to 15 minutes starting from 2024-07-14T08:00:00Z (UTC).

Resolved — From 4 AM UTC to 11 AM UTC, a subset of assets stored on DatoCMS experienced unresponsiveness, returning 404 errors. The impact was limited, with less than 1% of total assets being affected. We have identified and addressed the root cause, and all affected assets are now functioning correctly. 
We will continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure the sustained stability of DatoCMS. If you have any lingering concerns or notice any issues, please reach out to our support team for further assistance.
Identified — We are noticing rendering errors for some assets hosted on <code>www.datocms-assets.com</code>
We have already identified the issue and we are fixing it

Rendering errors on some assets

Resolved — The upstream DNS provider marks the issue as full resolved.
Monitoring — We got reports of request erroring for CMA and CDA endpoints. The administration interface was affected too, since it uses the CMA endpoint underneath.
We have identified an issue with an upstream DNS provider. They are already aware of the issue.
The problem started at about 2023-11-08 15:45:07 UTC and lasted for about 7 minutes.
We are monitoring the situation

Errors on CMA and CDA requests

Resolved — This incident was caused by a customer with a large user base using a private plugin that went rogue. 
The plugin started making a lot of API calls and since the user base of this customer is very large the entire platform was hit by a DDoS. This caused generic slow downs as the requests were authenticated as users and were hitting directly our web servers.
To avoid this from happening again we have added rate-limitations to JWT tokens, that are used by plugins acting as users, something that we didn&#39;t anticipate before.
Resolved — We can close the issue now
Monitoring — We noticed another batch of unusual traffic at reported time.
We will deploy some countermisures soon.
Monitoring — We experienced about 10 minutes of high response times on our CMA and CDA endpoints. This means that requests sent to those endpoints (site-api.datocms.com, graphql.datocms.com) started to have high latencies or timeout errors (503). 
The admin interface was affected too, since it uses the CMA endpoint itself.
The cause was as unusual amount of traffic that we are going to investigate further.
We are monitoring the situation right now.

High response times on CMA and CDA - Admin interface not loading

Resolved — A code change in the CMS conflicted with some plugins which made the user-interface unusable.
This didn&#39;t affect the APIs and only records that used certain plugins.
As soon as we got notified we issued a fix in the CMS. Unfortunately opening to third-party plugins opens to the possibility of complex scenarios that we haven&#39;t thought about. We have learnt something new from this incident and we&#39;ll try to prevent these issues from happening again in the future.
Resolved — We can close this issue now.
Monitoring — This should be fixed right now. We are monitoring the situation
Investigating — We have received reports of issues while opening records with fields having plugins.
Our REST API (site-api.datocms.com) and CDA (graphql.datocms.com) is not affected.

High error rate on admin interface

Resolved — We have further analyzed what happened in this incident and here&#39;s a longer explanation.
We use Cloudflare workers at the edge of our platform to cache GraphQL requests and block traffic that goes over hard limits, for example for people with cancelled subscriptions. To block these projects we save the information in the Cloudflare KV.
When Cloudflare KV was down our workers were breaking causing the cache to be bypassed.
So all the GraphQL requests were going straight to our servers causing an unusual load that slowed down everything very significantly. Only a minority of requests timed out, but still the user experience was significantly affected and everything seemed down. Furthermore, because everything hit our servers the rate-limits for GraphQL requests were hit much more frequently.
To avoid this from happening in the future we are going to improve our workers to avoid them for breaking in case of the KV service being down. If this has to happen again at least the caching will keep working. We didn&#39;t anticipate that the workers and KV storage might break independently, but we&#39;ll improve this part of the infrastructure soon.
Resolved — This incident is now resolved. The impact start time was 2023-10-30, 20:03 UTC, and the end time was 2023-10-30, 20:35 UTC.
The incident caused response times to be longer than usual on CDA API. We will investigate the issue, and we&#39;ll get back here with more details.

Cloudflare: Cloudflare Pages, Workers KV and Cloudflare Access Availability Issues

Resolved — This incident is now resolved. The impact start time was 2023-09-27 18:30 UTC, and the end time was 2023-09-27 20:10 UTC.
Identified — We confirm that the issue is related to the following Heroku incident: <a href="https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2590">https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2590</a>
We&#39;re trying to investigate if we can circumvent the underlying platform issue.

You can follow the underlying problem on the status page of Heroku as well: <a href="https://status.heroku.com/">https://status.heroku.com/</a>
Investigating — Users are experiencing timeouts when attempting to access the Real-Time API. This incident report is being generated to document the issue and communicate that we are actively investigating the root cause.

Unresponsive Real-Time APIs

Resolved — On September 8th Rollbar announced a security incident.
Rollbar is our error monitoring tool, where we send stacktraces of errors collected on frontend and backend systems.
All the details of the incident here: <a href="https://rollbar.com/compliance/nob_sep7th/">https://rollbar.com/compliance/nob_sep7th/</a>
In brief, our Rollbar access tokens might have been accessed by a third party, but Rollbar has no evidence of this happening. This means that our traces could have been read by someone else. In our implementation, before sending the traces to Rollbar we strip any personal information that might be present or any access token to DatoCMS projects.
Apart from the posted data in the traces nothing else could have been exposed to third parties.
In any case, on Sep 12th we have rotated all our tokens and deleted all the stack traces that were present in Rollbar. To this day we don&#39;t have any evidence that any of our data was accessed by a malicious third party.

High latency on some network requests

Resolved — Since November 23th, due to a problem, the daily reports visible in the &quot;Project usages&quot; pages of your DatoCMS project did not get reset at about midnight (UTC time) as usual. The conseguence is that you might have noticed that the daily reports showed bigger numbers each day.
These reports includes data such as:
<ul>
<li>Top assets by traffic</li>
<li>Top API tokens for CDA</li>
</ul>
and they are not related to usage data we use to bill extra plan usages.
Today, we have fixed the origin problem and we have reset the daily reports. All existing data have been saved in the &quot;Current Month&quot; report, so no data has been lost.
Sorry for any problems this might have caused to you.

Stale graphql responses from CDA

Completed — POSTPONED
Our provider postponed the migration, so we are waiting for a new time window from them.
We&#39;ll create a new scheduled maintenance event here once we have more information.
Scheduled — On May 14th at 05:00 AM UTC we are going to perform a scheduled maintenance on our billing infrastructure. During this window (projected at 4-6 hours), project owners won&#39;t be able to successfully perform any billing related action, such as - but not limited to - plan change, credit card update, billing address update, project transfer, project deletion and account deletion.
Also, automatic plan adjustments will be delayed until the end of the maintenance.

Scheduled maintenance on billing infrastructure

Completed — Everything is nominal
Verifying — Maintenance completed. Monitoring
In progress — Maintenance in progress
Scheduled — We are ready to perform the maintenance at the scheduled time.
Scheduled — During this period of time the Content Management API, Content Delivery API and projects administrative interface will be completely unavailable. The actual maintenance impact should be contained to 10 minutes.

Scheduled database maintenance

Resolved — Build triggers and webhooks are now being processed in two separate queues, so that they do not affect each other anymore.
Identified — The source of the latency was traced down to an abnormal increase of webhook calls in that time frame.
Investigating — Between 2021-11-23T21:30:00+00:00 and 2021-11-23T23:20:00+00:00 there was an high increase of latency in the queue that process build triggers and webhooks.
This means that deploys and webhooks took more time than usual to being triggered.

Build trigger and webhooks delay (retrospective)

Resolved — Normal behaviour is fully restored, resolving the ticket.
Monitoring — We performed a database upgrade to make room for the increased number of requests. Most timeout errors are gone, and the system is catching up. We&#39;ll continue to monitor the situation.
Investigating — We&#39;re seing a number of CMA/CDA requests failing. Seems to be a DB overload, we&#39;re investigating the root cause, and will keep on updating this ticket.

Requests slow/failing

Monitoring — Heroku is solving the root issue. We&#39;re waiting until the incident is fully resolved on their end to switch back to our original application.
Monitoring — We have created a new application and changed DNS entries to circumvent Heroku&#39;s issues, and it seems to be working: requests are coming to our application again. We&#39;re monitoring the situation of course, but things should be back to normal.
Investigating — We are applying a mitigation strategy in the meantime
Investigating — Heroku is investigating an issue on their platform ( <a href="https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2359">https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2359</a> )
Investigating — We are experiencing some connectivity issues at the moment.
Investigation is in progress.

Connectivity issues

Resolved — We&#39;ve talked with Vercel, and they&#39;ve told us that the only way to make notifications work again is by redoing the integration process. To do that, enter the failing Build Trigger in DatoCMS and press the &quot;Authorize Vercel&quot; button again.
Identified — Vercel has removed the old way of notifying third-party (that&#39;s us) about deployment status (build success/error). We&#39;re working on a solution.

500 status for Content Delivery API

Resolved — Closing the issue as resolved
Monitoring — The situation is back to normal again. We&#39;re sorry for any the inconvenience, and we&#39;re continuing to analyze the traffic to ensure that system performance continues to remain consistent.
Monitoring — Regular rate limits have been restored.
Monitoring — The reason for the problems concerns a sudden spike in the number of concurrent requests. The situation has returned to more or less normal levels, but we temporarily halved the API request rate limits (from 40 reqs/secs -&gt; 20 reqs/sec) to provide better service to the greatest number of customers while the situation stabilizes. We will restore regular rate limits shortly.
Investigating — We mitigated the issue, error rate has dramatically lowered but some requests are still returning errors. We are continuing to analyze the traffic.
Investigating — We’re receiving feedback of slow responses and intermittent 503 error codes on our Content Management API, we’ve doubled up our server resources and investigating in the meantime

Slow Responses And Intermittent 503 Error Codes

Resolved — Closing the issue.
Monitoring — We got reports of webhooks and build trigger being stuck or slow.
The queue latency is now back to normal. We are monitoring the situation. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Slow webhooks calls / build triggers events

Resolved — No more reports about this error so far. We are closing this.
Monitoring — We got reports of errors <code>genericError.MISSING_FIELDS</code> when trying to save an item that contains link or assets fields inside modular blocks.
We deployed a fix and we are monitoring right now.
This does not effect the CMA, only the admin interface.

Cannot save items that contain some kind of fields in modular blocks (`genericError.MISSING_FIELDS`)

Completed — Done.
Scheduled — To improve the scalability of the service, starting from 11th November webhooks and build triggers requests will be performed by dynamic IPs.

In progress — Maintenance is ready to be performed.
Scheduled — UPDATED: Maintenance postponed to 11th October.
We&#39;re going to upgrade our database with a follower changeover strategy.
During this period of time the Content Management API, Content Delivery API and projects administrative interface will be completely unavailable. The actual maintenance impact should be contained to 10 minutes.

Scheduled database maintenance [UPDATED]

Resolved — CMS interface has been unavailable for around 6 hours from around 12AM to 6AM UTC on the 29th of September.
All APIs were up and running, meaning that all the sites that were using our APIs were unaffected.
We have identified the root cause of the issue in a our Nginx + auto SSL configuration. We use auto SSL (a Lua plugin for Nginx) to issue certificates for new custom CMS addresses (like datocms.yourdomain.com). At the beginning of the issue a new site has been created with a custom domain that wasn&#39;t properly configured. This caused auto SSL to fail and try different connections using IPv6, which wasn&#39;t configured on the server. This caused Nginx to stop responding even if the service was up. So on server restart everything worked as expected.
We have now added an IPv6 address to the machine to prevent this from happening again.
Also our status page is showing the downtime of the issue and we are putting in place systems to handle these type of events in a quicker manner.

CMS interface unreachable

Resolved — This incident has been resolved.
Monitoring — Everything should be back to normal now. We are monitoring.
Investigating — We are investigating an error accessing our CDA endpoint (graphql.datocms.com).
This does not affect neither our CMA endpoint (site-api.datocms.com), nor DatoCMS admin interface.

Errors while accessing CDA (graphql.datocms.com)

Resolved — Closing this issue
Monitoring — Even the last bug on records version history has been resolved. We are now monitoring.
Identified — A fix for the previous problems has been deployed. We are working on another problem regarding records version history.
Identified — We got reports about problems while saving alt/title in Media area, SEO settings, roles, build triggers and webhooks.
This does not affect our REST API.
We are working on a fix

Problems while saving some type of resources in Admin interface

Resolved — Our CDN provider noted a performance issue with cache purging between Aug 24, 2020 - 23:10 UTC and Aug 25, 2020 - 02:44 UTC.
This may have caused a slowdown in purging the Graphql query cache.

The total number of record versions saved in our DB is growing fast and it&#39;s causing new challenges for us. We&#39;ll monitor the situation in the next few days. Hopefully we&#39;ll be faster next time as we have also improved our error reporting from the DB.
Identified — We have found the root cause in a slow query that was bringing down the database for everyone.
We have limited the query duration and the status seems back to normal.
We are monitoring and trying to release a stable fix.
Investigating — We are seeing an increased number of calls timing out.
When we see a spike of timeouts we can see errors across different endpoints.
We are investigating the root cause of the issue and we&#39;ll report back as soon as possible.

Increased number of timeouts

Resolved — Two outages happened together on 24th of June 2019 impacting different areas of DatoCMS.
One was Cloudflare: <a href="https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/46z55mdhg0t5">https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/46z55mdhg0t5</a> which would have impacted the GraphQL endpoint which had given time outs to certain IP ranges.
The other was with Heroku, which have impacted both GraphQL and REST APIs: <a href="https://status.heroku.com/incidents/1804">https://status.heroku.com/incidents/1804</a>
