Aspose words Bad gateway timeout

We are having issue when we try to mail merge documents which have a large data payload.

Up until this week it was working fine, then since last night in particular (first issue noted at 1140 PM BST 13/8/24), we now cannot successfully compile a document using the API unless it has low amounts of data in the request. This is a major breaking issue as most of our request have imagery and so a large payload (when compared to just a request with plain text data).

This what we are seeing, alot of 504 gateway timeouts and before the default threshold set of 300s.

Below is a screenshot. Timings are in Indian Standard time (GMT + 5:30)

Update

  • we have been retrying every 5 mins or so with a request to see if your back end becomes operational again. We have had one success circa 12:25pm BST in approx 50 attempts. It has now reverted to bad gateway again.

Please look into this urgently.

Hi @bedarley111111 !

1 more thing - can you please provide full response from our server? Include http headers?

Hello @Ivanov_John You system came back up yesterday at around the time when you guys start your day. so circa 2pm BST

Can I ask how aspose runs itas dev ops / change management as we seem to be blighted by regular issues which when you evaluate the timeline or support responses suggest you roll out bad code/ have poor provisioning/ scaling.

Is it possible to have advanced notice of changes being made?
