500 errors to public pages from malicious traffic

Incident Report for Atlassian Statuspage

Resolved

Due to a network DDoS affecting our load balancing layer in the us-east region, we experienced a surge in HTTP 500 responses from our public pages between 8:32 AM - 09:02AM and 10:30am - 10:50am PDT. This impacted 16-20% of the total traffic to public pages during these windows.

We have gone ahead and made some updates to our edge compute services to prevent similar problems from arising.
