What We’re Doing to Prevent This in the Future

We recognize this disruption may have affected your storefront operations, and we want to assure you that we’ve taken steps to strengthen our systems. Specifically, we’ve:
• Placed limits on how many background tasks can run at the same time

• Updated testing procedures to catch long-running processes before deployment
• Begun a review of similar background processes to ensure no other risks exist

Resolved

On 21 August 2025, our production environment experienced a service disruption affecting the EvolutionX application. The issue stemmed from a misconfigured background task that began executing repeatedly every 15 minutes, leading to saturation of database connections. This caused intermittent outages between 9:28 PM and 10:47 PM GMT, confirmed by external monitoring tools. A post-incident review was conducted on Friday, 22 August 2025 to review additional safeguards and monitoring enhancements to prevent recurrence.
