Monitoring

The bug that was causing too many couchdb document updates has been fixed, and changes should now be flowing through the system at a normal rate again. We're monitoring to make sure the backlog drains as expected.

Identified

We've identified the root cause of the replication delays. Publications have been accepted & stored, but replication on our CouchDB instances is behind because of unexpected load caused by a bug elsewhere that creates many document updates when certain package data is changed. We're working on a fix.

Investigating

We are investigating lag on replicating publications to our leaf nodes as well as downstream to registry mirrors.
