We are happy to report that the impact to the Talk product has been resolved working with our partner provider and all calls should be connecting as expected at this time. Thank you for your patience during our investigation.
Root Cause Analysis
This incident was caused by a failure in our service provider's caching proxy that fetches call greeting files, resulting in system timeouts that dropped inbound calls.
Resolution
To fix this issue, our service provider implemented several remediation measures, including adding additional capacity to handle the high load, and a fix patch to prevent recurrence of the issue. These actions helped restore normal service and mitigate the impact on customers.
Remediation Items
-
- Update runbooks with call greeting flow for easier debugging.
- Update Talk SLO monitoring dashboards.
- Review and update service provider escalation process and documentation.
