Interesting to see that www.heroku.com runs on their own platform, and is just as susceptible to platform downtime.

On the other hand its surprising to me that when heroku goes down, it goes down hard, namely that all hosted sites including their own are unavailable.

just a glitch in the matrix. it occurs when they switch over local control.

What's their usual outage duration? I'm supposed to demo a project in a few hours.

They keep a historical archive of incidents at https://status.heroku.com/past

Last time I can recall this happening to us it was down for several hours.

502 Bad Gateway . . . is there a page that displays the status of the status page?

When will heroku have a multizone offering?

I know most sites hosted on heroku are pet projects with no real need that type of uptime, but this type of downtime makes it impossible to use them as enterprise customers.

If status.heroku goes down due to 500 errors (overloading) use https://status-old.heroku.com/

Totally agree with this assessment. I don't know how their routing mesh works exactly, but it seems that they're coupled too closely. Either everybody is mostly working fine, or everybody's down.
