AWS is down too, this is likely the cause since Heroku runs on it. https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/

No, AWS is not down.

What is the proof that AWS is down? Functional monitoring of AWS by metrist.io (I'm a co-founder) shows no AWS problems. Downdetector is not a reliable source.

What makes Downdetector unreliable? It's showing a huge spike right now.

is it related to an AWS outage? https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/

"User reports indicate problems at Amazon Web Services" User reported outage sounds like people confusing the Heroku outage with AWS.

Rust's crate repository (crates.io) seems to be down too. I wonder if they're connected...

Neat! Wish you had a clickable demo rather than just screenshots.

Anyone still seeing outages? Our services are all back up.

All our applications are still down.

At first the heroku status page was still all green for me... although took 30 seconds to load. I guess when the status page takes 30 seconds to load, that's an indicator!

I did figure, okay, a 30-second-to-load status page probably means my app outage is a heroku platform problem.

(Also an indicator the status page is sharing too much platform with the platform it's supposed to be reporting on? Also in this case an indication that the platform problems are pretty deep?)

Interestingly, my app logs (via papertrail, which is still up) show that some traffic is getting through continually through this current outage, although I can't (and my monitoring app can't either, which pinged me).

AWS status page is up, but going VERY slow, and says no issues.

I still don't get why they use images

maybe your service isn't as reliable as you think it is ;)
