Weekly Update: April 5, 2024

Updates on recent outages

Two weeks ago, Friday March 29, Sunsama experienced a major outage. You may have seen your tasks not load in or only partially load in during this outage.

We noticed the issue a few minutes after it began and starting upgrading our infrastructure immediately to counteract this issue. The issue was resolved a few hours later.

The following Monday, we experienced a similar issue for a small subset of power users, which we fixed again in with a few hours.

We've identified and patched the root cause of the performance issues from both incidents now.

We're extremely sorry about the brief outage and appreciate everyone's patience and compassion as we worked to get it resolved 🙏🏽
