Maker of StatusSight
I built StatusSight. Here's what I'm building next with AI.
In Lior Builds, my free newsletter, I share one story from a product I built with AI, plus short notes on the tools and models worth using: what worked, what did not, and the numbers behind it. Every week or two.

Recently Resolved Incidents
We are investigating an increase in delayed (deferred) messages in both our US and EU regions, beginning at approximately 14:40 UTC on October 11. A subset of our internal DNS resolvers are intermittently failing to resolve recipient domains, causing some delivery attempts to be temporarily deferred.
Affected messages are not being dropped or bounced. Retries are succeeding as they are routed to healthy resolvers, so impacted messages are being delivered with additional latency. Customers may observe an elevated number of delay events in webhooks, event logs, and reporting during this time.
We have identified the cause as a DNSSEC validation issue on a portion of our resolver fleet related to a scheduled update of the internet's root DNS signing key, and are applying a fix. No action is required from customers. We will provide an update within 60 minutes or as soon as we have more information.
