App Engine down • Hacker News Board

Before the doom and gloomers come out, this is the first time since leaving beta I can remember it happening. We left AWS about 18 months ago after one of the outages and switched to GAE. I've counted 3-4 big downtimes for AWS compared to this one on GAE. That's still a good decision (for now)....

Same. Minor updates and issues pop up with GAE but I've never experienced an outage such as this in my two years of use.

Wonder what's happening.

Yup, all of the HRD apps are down. But the M/S apps are working.

Well, my one M/S app is also down.

my one M/S app is up and running.

I think this is larger than just GAE. http://internettrafficreport.com/namerica.htm It seems like large portions of the internet are down.

only 51% of north american internet is working ?? Am i reading this correctly ?

It's really quite remarkable (to be honest, inexcusable is probably a better word) that their status page is failing as well. My expectations for a company with Google's resources and infrastructure are a lot higher than that.

Nothing on their Twitter account either: https://twitter.com/app_engine

A poor handling of a systems failure in my opinion.

What's the earliest sign of trouble you've had?

Pingdom reports my GAE-hosted site has been down since 2012-10-26 10:37:38 EST, a bit over an hour now.

UPDATE: My site is back. Delayed report from Pingdom says site came back online after 50 minutes. Performance is sketchy still. We're probably not in the clear yet.

At least we can now get to the status dash:

Internet Traffic Report, while a nice concept, is unfortunately very misleading.

Their sample size is extremely small, and most of those are permanently down.

Have a look through their list of north american routers and find one of them where packet loss has gotten worse as their main overall graph for packet loss would suggest - I've just been through them all and couldn't find one.
