Summary

The outage occurred on April 5th, 2017, at 10:24 AM EDT, and lasted four hours and fifty-six minutes. The primary database was deleted, but data was restored within the duration of the outage. The root cause was an engineer-driven configuration error caused by misconfigured production credentials. DigitalOcean is taking steps to improve network connectivity, hardware, and processes to prevent similar incidents in the future.
