The HackerRank platform will undergo a scheduled database upgrade during our regular maintenance window. This upgrade helps maintain platform reliability and performance.
Date: Saturday, April 19, 2025
Time: 5:00 AM to 7:00 AM GMT (view all time zones)
Duration: 2 hours
The HackerRank platform will be inaccessible for approximately two hours.
All platform services will resume immediately after the maintenance window.
Ensure that no candidate tests, interview sessions, or other platform activities are scheduled during the maintenance window.
How does this impact candidates?
The test interface will be unavailable during the maintenance window. Candidates attempting to launch a test during this time will see a notification prompting them to return later. Candidates will only be able to start a test if they have enough time to complete it before the maintenance window begins.
How does this impact interview sessions?
New interview sessions cannot begin during the maintenance window. Candidates also cannot begin interviews within 90 minutes prior to the start of the maintenance window.
If an interview is in progress as the downtime approaches, candidates will see warning messages to help them finish in time. Interview data recorded before the maintenance window starts will be stored safely.
How does this impact reports?
Reports and dashboards will be unavailable during the downtime.
