GitHub Actions have been experiencing a major outage affecting our public data ingests:

Delayed data ingest

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 07:58:00 -0000

The `me-south-1` AWS region became unreachable and failed the related ETL pipeline. We have applied a fix to mark a region as inactive in such case and not block the rest of the ETL process.

Recent ETL jobs have been failing.

Website unreachable

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 23:38:00 -0000

There was a dependency resolution error in our Infrastructure-as-Code implementation that resulted in temporarily TLS negotiations in some requests. All these errors are now resolved and the site is back to normal.

Website unreachable

A fix for the removed Azure client is currently being tested, upstream bugreport opened.

Delayed data ingest

We have identified the issue: the Azure Python SDK has been updated and the `SubscriptionClient` we use to list the available regions has been removed from the azure-mgmt-resource package. We are investigating what exactly happened and how to overcome the issue -- preferably without pinning the package to an older version.

Delayed data ingest

We are migrating the scheduled Crawler runs from the sc-data repository to a new location (sc-data-dumps), which shouldn't take more than an hour -- I'll report back. In the meantime, S3 dumps should be up-to-date, but changelog might be missed for a few runs along with the heartbeat signals sent to our statuspage.

The sparecores.com domain was removed from Amplify, and added to the directly managed Cloudfront distribution, CNAME update in progress.

Cloudfront migration

Sat, 28 Sep 2024 20:39:00 -0000

We decided to move our hosting (Angular SSR) from serverless Edge Lambda provided by AWS Amplify to traditional Express hosting behind a CDN, and the migration required to take off Amplify before the CNAME records change due a technical limitation at AWS.

Homepage unavailable

Thu, 05 Sep 2024 12:55:00 -0000

Netlify misunderstood a support ticket that we had opened regarding SSR edge function usage, and they took down the site without notice, as they handled our support ticket as "a report for problematic website hosted on our service".

We have upgraded the cluster to use larger instances to support the increased memory requirements of the Keeper.
