Update
At 02:00 UTC today we identified processing delays with some of our workers.

After several hours of investigation and intermittent reliability issues we made the decision to pause our workers temporarily in order to determine the root cause. As a result we were able to pinpoint the cause: a regression in a code deploy made earlier today causing worker configuration issues and resulting in workers consistently failing before completing their jobs.

Once fixed we were able to redeploy our worker fleet with services resuming at 10:12 UTC. Since this time we have been working through the backlog of accumulated API calls and automations for the Vero Workflows product. Please see a summary of the affected service timeline below.

No data was lost during this incident.

**Vero Newsletters**
02:00 UTC - 07:50 UTC: unreliable queueing of newsletters.
07:50 UTC - 10:00 UTC: not able to send newsletters.

02:00 UTC - 07:50 UTC: unreliable queueing of newsletters (within Vero Workflows).
07:50 UTC - 10:00 UTC:
- Not able to send newsletters.
- No automated processing.
- No API call processing (though all data was safely collected).
10:00+ UTC: working through API and automation backlog (API real time as of 9.15pm).
