Connectivity issues for static sites and web services
Incident Report for Render
Resolved
We have not observed any further errors and all previously impacted sites are fully operational.

Equinix has put in place a fix and shared that the outage was caused by an erroneous prefix list update based on an incomplete prefix list returned by RADb (https://www.radb.net/) during an outage.

Render will continue to explore redundancy options to mitigate the failure mode that occurred here in the future.

Customers who implemented a temporary A record change per the mitigation suggested earlier in the incident must revert that change as soon as possible and point back to the old IP.

Equinix has informed us that resolution of the underlying issue may be delayed, so we are continuing to aggressively pursue alternate mitigations.

We continue to encourage customers to consider the temporary migration posted in our earlier status update in order to bring back connectivity to their sites.

Update
Our provider, Equinix, is still investigating the networking issue. In parallel, we are exploring alternate mitigations that we can apply until the underlying issue is resolved.

Impacted customers can still apply the temporary mitigation mentioned in an earlier update in order to restore connectivity to their sites. If applying this mitigation, the configuration changes will need to be reverted following the resolution of the incident.
