2025-01-23: All traffic dropped to redis-cluster-chat-cache

📝 Summary for CMOC notice / Exec summary:

  1. Customer Impact: None.
  2. Service Impact: ServiceRedisClusterChatCache
  3. Impact Duration: 1600 - 1730 (90 minutes)
  4. Root cause: RootCauseKnown-Software-Issue

Customer Impact

There was a recently merged changed that caused Duo Chat to not utilize a redis cache. The feature not using the cache should not impact the availability of Duo Chat or Duo Workflow, so there should be no observable customer impact.

Current Status

We are rolling back to an earlier deployment for which Duo Chat still uses the redis cache.

More information will be added as we investigate the issue. For customers believed to be affected by this incident, please subscribe to this issue or monitor our status page for further updates.
