API v1 outage and degraded performance on outgoing integrations

Incident Report for Opsgenie

Resolved

We sent an library upgrade to backend services at 14:44 UTC, during blue-green deploy phase everything seemed OK. When we shut down old instances transaction durations started to increase. We understood that the problem was in the caching layer. Revert decision made at 15:45 UTC, but a bug in deployment automation prevented us to solve the problem immediately. We started to revert instances manually. Between 16:28 UTC and 16:42 UTC backend services receiving API v1 requests, fully went down. Also we experienced delays at outgoing integrations up to 20 minutes. API v2 and alerting / notification flows were functional during the incident. A detailed post-mortem will be published later on.
