Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What HackerRank does

HackerRank is the platform companies use to screen and interview developers. Recruiters send coding assessments from inside their applicant tracking system and get results scored automatically, and the Interview product runs live technical interviews in a shared editor. Because it sits inside a hiring pipeline, an outage lands on a candidate mid-test and an interviewer with a scheduled call, not just on an internal team.

What an outage looks like

A test will not open from the invitation link, or opens and then fails to submit at the end. The code editor stops accepting input or loses its connection mid-question, and the run and compile step hangs without returning results. Live interviews fail to start or drop the shared editor. Recruiters find that assessment invitations sent from an ATS integration never reach candidates.

What to do about it

Check HackerRank's Service Health Dashboard at status.hackerrank.com, then the per-region measurements here. If you are a candidate mid-assessment, screenshot the failure with a visible clock and email the recruiter immediately rather than restarting the test, because a retry can consume an attempt. If you are the recruiter, reschedule rather than letting a candidate work through a degraded editor, since the score will not be representative.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

HackerRank outage FAQ

Is HackerRank down for everyone or just me?
Compare status.hackerrank.com with the per-region measurements on this page. A failure visible from several of our regions at once points at the platform. If those look clean, the usual local causes are a corporate network blocking the editor's connection, a browser extension interfering with the code editor, or a proctored test refusing to run under a restrictive VPN.
What happens to my test if HackerRank goes down mid-assessment?
Contact the recruiter before you do anything else, and do not close the tab if you can avoid it. Assessment timers and attempt limits are set by the company that sent the invitation rather than by HackerRank, so the recovery depends on them: many will reissue an invitation or extend the window, but a restarted test can count against a limited number of attempts.
Does a HackerRank outage affect scheduled live interviews?
The Interview product runs in the same platform as assessments, so a broad outage can take both. In practice interviews are easier to salvage: a shared editor can be replaced with screen sharing over whatever video tool the call already uses, and most interviewers keep the questions outside the platform. Agree a fallback with the candidate at the start rather than losing the slot.
Do assessment invitations sent during an outage still arrive?
Not reliably. Invitations sent through an applicant tracking system integration depend on the platform accepting the request, so an outage can leave a recruiter believing a candidate was invited when nothing was sent. After an outage clears, check the assessment list in HackerRank rather than trusting the ATS record, and resend anything that shows no invitation.

How we measure this

  • We request HackerRank's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — 8 of them answered the most recent check.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where HackerRank publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
