Postmortem—

**What happened?**  On October 19, 2026, xMatters internal monitoring tools detected service degradation at 10:03 PM Pacific. Shortly after, some customers reported experiencing problems accessing xMatters or using integration and notification services.  **Why did it happen?**  Google Cloud experienced an outage affecting its EU-West-2 region. This disrupted xMatters services in the affected region.  **How did we respond?**  xMatters Support, Engineering, and Operations teams initiated the Major Incident Management process and mitigated the impact of the outage by failing affected systems over to another region. Services became available as systems transitioned. xMatters remained in Monitoring and verified service stability while Google continued recovery work in its affected region.  **What are we doing to prevent it from happening again?**  xMatters is designed with regional resiliency to mitigate the impact of infrastructure provider outages. During this incident, those resiliency measures operated as intended and enabled affected services to be transitioned to another region. Engineering and Operations are reviewing the incident resolution response to identify opportunities to further streamline recovery procedures and reduce recovery time during similar events.
