Since 02:23 CET 2021-06-25 we're seeing a delay in processing of job events in Azure North Europe stack.
We are monitoring a situation, next update in one hour.
UPDATE 09:15 CET 2021-06-25 We increased the capacity of infrastructure and issue has been resolved. All job events have been processed. We're sorry for this inconvenience.
According to the announcement published two weeks ago we switched default Python environments in Python Transformations and Workspaces. The old Sandboxes will be switched during today. See the previous post for more information.
Today, June 14, 2021, we released a number of new features on our AWS stacks.
Unfortunately we have noticed an issue that when loading larger datasets to the new Python or R workspaces the job will fail.
We're investigating the root cause and will update here when we know more or the issue gets resolved.
UPDATE 17:59 UTC - We've deployed fix which should resolve the loading issues. We continue to monitor the situation.
Beginning with 4:05 UTC 2021-06-11 we're seeing slowdown processing of transformation jobs in AWS EU stack. We're working on a fix. Next update in 30 minutes.
UPDATE 7:02 UTC We increased capacity of infrastructure and the situation is better. We continue to monitor the situation.
UPDATE 7:30 UTC The situation is stable. All operations are back to normal. We're sorry for this inconvenience.
The current environment for transformations is fairly outdated (due to compatibility concerns) and needs an update. New transformation environments are now available with an update plan. You may choose to leave your environment in auto update mode or lock your environment to either the current or the future version.
Action needed:
If you want to prevent the new transformations from being updated automatically later this month, you must select the version you wish to use. This update is planned for June 22, 2021.
The following options are available:
The Sandbox and Workspace environments will keep running the current version until the switch date on June 22, 2021, at which point they will switch to the latest version (we're jumping the intermediate Python 3.8.10 + Pandas 1.1.5). If you want to continue to use the current (outdated) version of Pandas in the Sandbox/Workspace after this date, you'll have to install it manually.
In the future, we will also be offering at least two versions of the Python transformations: one that updates automatically (the default and current behavior) and one that does not auto-update. That way you can always choose whether your transformation environment is auto-updating or not.
We're seeing increased user error rate in Python transformation jobs since May 25 16:08 UTC. Most common error message is "ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed." but also other errors may appear.
We're sorry for this inconvenience, we're actively investigating the issue. Next update in 30 minutes
Update 07:28 UTC: We have rolled back Python transformations from version 1.4.1 to version 1.4.0 and everything seems to be working again. If you encounter further issues please get in touch with us. We'll be monitoring this issue and post an update in one hour.
Update 08:36 UTC: The situation is stable, we're not seeing any further errors since the rollback. Please accept our apology for the inconvenience.
From 2021-05-18 21:13 UTC to 2021-05-19 05:06 UTC we experienced increased jobs failures in the Azure North Europe region.
These errors were caused by a faulty deploy on a single node. The deploy has been fixed and the situation is back to normal and you can restart the failed jobs.
We're sorry for this inconvenience.

We have noticed a slight increase in job failures for some components today since this morning's release of the job runner.
We are investigating the root cause of the issue and will update when more information becomes available.

All systems are back to fully operational status. We are continuing to monitor for further instances of this error, and we are working on a preventative measures plan to reduce the impact of this type of incident in the future.
Since 2021-04-28 01:00 UTC we are experiencing Facebook ads extractor failures on error "Please reduce the amount of data you're asking for, then retry your request"
It is caused by a bug in Facebook API that have been reported and currently being investigate by a Facebook backend team.
Link to the Facebook bug ticket: https://developers.facebook.com/support/bugs/503443564145524/
We continue to watch the Facebook bug ticket and will update here once we know more.
If you have access to the Facebook bug report you can raise importance/severity of it by leaving a comment there.
One possible workaround that might work is to retrieve data with smallest window possible that is adding .date_preset(yesterday) parameter to the query, e.g:
insights.action_attribution_windows(28d_click).action_breakdowns(action_type).level(adset).date_preset(yesterday).time_increment(1)
We found a root-cause, PHP sorting function is not guaranteed to be stable. It is fixed in PHP 8.0 (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/stable_sorting), but we used 7.4 in the extractor (which is also still supported).
