The incident began at 09:12 UTC, ~7 minutes after that deploy. **What resolved it:** The v3.2.2 rollback at 10:02 UTC, which reverted the session cache back to in-memory. Error rate returned to normal at 10:07 UTC, ~5 minutes later. (The v3.2.0 deploy the prior afternoon was only routine dependency bumps and had run fine overnight, making it an unlikely culprit.)
**Most likely cause:** The `v3.2.1` deploy at 09:05 UTC on 2026-07-14, which switched the session cache from in-memory to Redis. The incident began at 09:12 UTC — 7 minutes after that deploy — with error rate jumping to 30% and p99 latency to 8s, consistent with a new/faulty Redis dependency in the request path. **What resolved it:** The `v3.2.2` rollback deploy at 10:02 UTC, which reverted the session cache back to in-memory. Error rate returned to normal at 10:07 UTC, ~5 minutes later. (The
