How Zendesk Resolved the July 23, 2024 Service Incident

Discover how Zendesk resolved the service incident on July 23, 2024, including the steps taken and future prevention measures.

How did Zendesk resolve the service incident on July 23, 2024?

Zendesk resolved the service incident on July 23, 2024, by initially increasing the capacity of the permissions service’s database instance. This provided a short-term recovery while the root cause was being identified. Once the root cause was determined, which was related to a new feature rollout, the engineers rolled back the permissions feature code change.

This rollback prevented further problems, and after additional monitoring, no further errors were detected, marking the incident as fully resolved. The team also planned remediation items to prevent future incidents, such as reducing network traffic from permissions checks and scheduling additional monitors and alerts.
