## Summary

Between 25 November 2025 21:20 US/Pacific and 26 November 2025 2:30 US/Pacific, Google Meet experienced a service disruption for a total duration of 5 hours and 10 minutes. A subset of Google Meet users in the Asia region were unable to start or join meetings via the web and on meeting devices.

Google is committed to quickly and continually improving our technology and operations to prevent service disruptions. We appreciate your patience and apologize again for the impact to your organization. We thank you for your business.

## Root Cause

The incident was caused by an issue within the Meet web frontend server located in the Singapore (SIN) metropolitan area, which is a critical component and responsible for handling Google Meet connections for users in the Asia region.

The issue began with a software update to the Meet web frontend server. Approximately three hours after this update was complete, a combination of traffic patterns and a code change creating a thread deadlock risk which is currently being investigated further, acted as the trigger for the outage.

This trigger led to a sustained period of long-hanging requests in the server's processing queue. This abnormal workload ultimately consumed all available resources, causing the server to experience Out-Of-Memory (OOM) errors and subsequent task crashes. The result (effect) was that the server could not properly process requests, leading to failures when users attempted to load the meeting UI or join meetings.

Furthermore, the issue detection was slightly delayed because traffic patterns in the immediate interval after the software update did not trigger the issue, delaying our response and mitigation efforts.

## Remediation

The issue started on 25 November 2025 at 21:20 US/Pacific and the problem was first detected by Google's internal alerting systems at 21:41 US/Pacific. Our engineers promptly began working to restore service by taking the following actions in chronological order:

25 November, 22:08 US/Pacific - Draining of the most affected cluster

Efforts were made to shift traffic away from the specific server cluster experiencing the crashes.

25 November, 22:20 US/Pacific - Increase in capacity

Our engineers increased the resources available to the affected service.

25 November, 23:27 US/Pacific - Rollback of the webfrontend binary

The most effective step taken was reverting the software on the Meet web frontend server back to the previous stable version. This action mitigated the issue and restored service availability.

Service was fully restored on 26 November 2025 at 02:30 US/Pacific.
