Monitoring

The S3 outage has cleared, and our backlog has processed. Also, Amazon has updated their status pages to indicate their problem has been resolved. We will continue to monitor the situation, but performance has returned to normal.

Update

We are showing signs that the S3 blockage is clearing. As is usual during such recoveries, we are processing a large backlog of traffic. This itself will slow us a for a short time, but we seem to be on the road to recovery.

Identified

We've identified the failing component, which appears to be Amazon S3 in the 'US Standard' zone. The Amazon status-pages do not yet show an outage, but the pattern we're seeing is consistent with an outage of that nature. We are watching things closely, but we are functionally down at this time.

Investigating

We are currently experiencing excessive latencies in requests to the HelloSign and HelloFax web application and APIs. At this time, HelloWorks appears unaffected.
