Retrospective Service Disruption - Loqate /Component

Incident Report for GBG

Postmortem

Detailed root cause analysis investigations with GBG support teams confirmed this was caused by internal network activity against Loqate webservers at one of our datacentres, which caused a spike in CPU utilisation and the increased response times/timeout errors seen.

Support teams shifted traffic over to an alternative datacentre to restore service, before then restarting the non-performant webservers and rebalancing traffic to fully resolve.
