Timeline
05:56 PM
We are investigating increased error rates and increased latencies in the US-GOV-EAST-1 Region.
06:26 PM
At 9:20 AM PDT we began experiencing increased latency and error rates impacting DynamoDB Streams. Engineers were engaged shortly after and began investigating the issue. We have identified the root cause to be related to a planned configuration change to the supporting network. Work has started on mitigating this impact and we expect to know more within the next 30 minutes. At this time there are no workarounds available.
06:43 PM
We are beginning to see signs of recovery and seeing Streams processing traffic catch up. Services that depend on DynamoDB streams will recover as they catch up. We continue to monitor the situation and will update this post within the next 30 minutes.
07:15 PM
Between 9:24 AM and 11:31 AM PDT we experienced increased latency and error rates affecting DynamoDB Streams in the US-GOV-EAST-1 Region. Our engineers were engaged by 9:40 AM and began investigating. By 10:43 AM root cause was understood to have been caused by a planned configuration change to the network that supports DynamoDB Streams and work to correct this configuration began. During this time, attempts to read data from DynamoDB Streams would have failed. Services which depend on DynamoDB Streams have caught up on processing data that was published to streams during this time. At this time the issue is resolved and the service is operating normally.
