Service Incident – OpenFIT Web Application Unavailable
30 March 2026 – Resolved
Incident Summary
Service affected: OpenFIT Web Application (app.openfit.care)
Start time: Approximately 13:18 UTC, 30 March 2026
Resolution time: 15:45 UTC, 30 March 2026
Duration: Approximately 2 hours 27 minutes
Status: Resolved
Impact
Users were unable to access the OpenFIT web application via app.openfit.care. All regions were affected. The OpenFIT API, Identity services, and mobile application were not impacted during this period. No data was lost and no assessments or sessions in progress were affected.
Root Cause
During a scheduled deployment on Sunday 30 March, a load balancer configuration change — made as part of ongoing infrastructure work — inadvertently remapped the app.openfit.care endpoint. This caused all web traffic to be routed incorrectly, resulting in a 404 error for users attempting to access the application. The change was identified and reverted, restoring normal routing.
Resolution
The Front Door routing configuration has been restored to its correct state. app.openfit.care is fully operational. No action is required from users.
Next Steps
We are reviewing our deployment process to ensure that Front Door routing configuration changes are validated against production rules prior to any deployment. Additional safeguards will be implemented to prevent recurrence.
