KMSAT - Slow Console Performance

Incident Report for KnowBe4

Postmortem

On March 21, 2021, from approximately 11:41 p.m. to March 22, 2021 10:46 a.m. (ET), KMSAT users experienced delays with the KMSAT console.

The incident was caused by a slow-running backend process that was slowed down even further due to a sudden increase in customer requests. The slow-running backend process was stopped, allowing the platform to return to normal performance by 10:46 a.m. (ET).

To prevent this type of issue in the future, we have increased the speed of database queries. Other improvements are planned to ensure that a sudden increase in customer requests do not affect overall platform performance.

No data loss occurred as a result of this issue.
