Elevated application and API/Mobile errors
Final update
**Incident**: A configuration change unintentionally blocked internal network access between application components. This change was identified as the cause of downtime and reverted. **Impact**: The Asana App and API were unavailable for 24 minutes. App and API traffic recovered over the next 5 minutes, and Automations & Background Actions recovered over 10 minutes. **Moving forward**: We have completed a redesign of our core application architecture to better protect our services from disruption by segmentation into independent sections, or "cells." We are considering ways we can leverage this architecture to roll out configuration changes like the one which triggered this incident more gradually and carefully across our systems to ensure safety & stability. Our metric considers a weighted average of uptime experienced by users at each data center. The number of minutes of downtime shown reflects this weighted average.
