April 2026 Outage Post-Mortem

Hey all! I'm Jim, and I do system-y things at Bluesky. I'm here to give you some details about what happened on Monday of this week that caused Bluesky to go down intermittently for ~1/2 our users for about 8 hours. First, I'd like to apologize to our users for the interruption in service. This is easily the worst outage we've seen in my time here. It's just not acceptable. Second, if you find this work interesting, we're hiring!
