Wasn't the saying "It's always DNS" floating around somewhere? Be interesting to understand cause here. Pretty big impact on services we use
I know how to fix this but this community is too close minded and argumentative egocentric sensitive pedantic threatened angry etc to bother discussing it
I noticed that Starbucks mobile ordering was down and thought “welp, I guess I’ll order a bagel and coffee on Grubhub”, then GrubHub was down. My next stop was HN to find the common denominator, and y’all did not disappoint.
I always go everywhere adequately prepared for beverages and food. Thanks to your comment, I have a new reason to do so. Take out coffees are actually far from guaranteed.

We all design systems with redundancy, backups and whatnot, but few of us apply this thinking to our food and drink. Maybe get a kettle for the office and a backup kettle, in case the first one fails?
We’re 100% on Azure but so far there’s no impact for us. Luckily, we moved off Azure Front Door about a year ago. We’d had three major incidents tied to Front Door and stopped treating it as a reliable CDN. They weren’t global outages, more like issues triggered by new deployments.

Wow I just left a Starbucks drivethru line because it was just not moving. I guess it was because of this.
But they won't be.

The only reason you'd notice MS was down was if Github was down....
GitHub doesn't use Azure yet, but has just published their migration path to azure a few days ago. I would link to that article, but that one does seem down ;)
> They're stating they're working with the Azure teams, so I suspect this is related.

Good thing HN is hosted on a couple servers in a basement. Much more reliable than cloud, it seems!
