Question: for a smaller SaaS tool, or even internal product. If a team doesn't want to manage AWS or another IaaS provider, what are the best alternatives for the following 1.) Vercel - having a bad month 2.) Supabase - having a bad month 3.) Railway - now having a bad month
The interesting and yet-to-be-explained part is why google flagged the account? Put all the timestamps you want in the post mortem about what you observed, but you haven't addressed the root cause. The "this doesn't make sense" part of the story likely has a real explanation that nobody wants to reveal yet.
That‘s the point where Google tells you they won’t tell you the exact reason because of security reasons
I've read all the threads and their main page and I still don't really understand what this service is. Is this like a commercial alternative to Gerrit? What do people use this for? I'm not a developer, just curious what this is.
Alternative to Fly or Heroku
Here is my source code Run it on the cloud for me I do not care how
In this case it looks like they also bundle together a bunch of the other services you would need to get code onto the platform, monitor it once it’s there and so on
I've been getting serious, recently, about moving all my workloads to equipment that I control in datacenters with which I have professional relationships. It's less expensive, easier, and this kind of nonsense doesn't happen. These cloud providers need to step back and observe how terrible they've made these products. Footguns everywhere, pricing that is impossible to forecast or reason about, broken APIs, and autom…
The thing that's nice about physical datacenters with people is that they often have to physically walk over to disconnect you - it's not as easy as some automated system doing an AI.

"Finally, we are in planning to remove Google Cloud services from our data plane’s hot path, and keeping them only for secondary/failover." That's pretty clear. Google can no longer be trusted as a B2B service provider.

> May 19, 22:10 UTC - Our automated monitoring detected API health check failures and paged our on-calls, who started investigating the issue. > At 22:20 UTC on May 19, Google Cloud placed Railway’s production account into a suspended status incorrectly, as part of an automated action. If the timestamps are accurate, what was causing the errors 10 minutes before the account was suspended? The simplest explanation is…
* A Google employee messes up a setting (like one of the previous incidents) triggers something that looks like a suspension is warranted and it takes 10 minutes to flow through the process to suspend.
* A Railway customer does something corrupt, or seemingly corrupt, Google's system starts limiting access and take 10 minutes to decide it should be a suspension.
These are even more likely if there is a person in the loop to approve, who obvious did not dig deep enough to see that they should not have done so.
