The status site now handles both HTTP and HTTPS gracefully.

The status site now supports SSL and auto-redirects regular HTTP traffic to HTTPs.

Yes.

In fact, all HTTP access redirects to HTTPS for just about everything. And most modern browsers (recent versions of Chrome and Safari) that have accessed a website over HTTPS once …

Never on iOS though. Most of the features Google added to the Android version of Maps never made it to iOS, for whatever reason (be it Apple not allowing it or Google decided they …

At the time of the outage, the status site was seeing upwards of 30,000/req minute. AS we scaled up dynos, we would see temporary performance improvements until the status site wou…

This removes discoverability of what could be useful (if small) gems. At the very least, these could be made into full repos on GitHub with READMEs so they're relatively easy to fi…
