Wistia - Media Processing slowed and Media.Ready Webhooks not firing – Incident details

We identified and resolved a config issue that prevented updates from being pushed from our encoding system to our main app. The system has both a push and pull mechanism for getting encoding updates, but with only the pull updates encoding appeared slower and the media.ready webhooks were not firing.

After resolving the config issue, we ensured that all uploads during the affected period were synced properly to reflect the correct encoding status. We've taken additional steps to prevent this issue from reoccurring and improved monitoring around those status updates to prevent similar incidents in the future.
