I was building a github app and was scratching my head about where I messed up. The website and front end were loading but github isn't sending webhooks.

I was deploying code to production as it died!

Well that is just the worst luck. Condolences as you revert locally?

That's great. 2 minutes before it went down a pipeline workflow ran in Heroku deploying a bug to my app. Now I can't deploy the hotfix since it depends on Github and I'm not able to revert to the last successful build on the Heroku interface.

Any ideas?

have never seen the github 500 screen before! the 404 screen is delightful, this one is as well silver linings

I'm not even getting the pretty errors :) Just the generic nginx 504 timeout.

I was trying to authorize a third-party client and got an angry pink unicorn.

Wow, it's totally dead, not even a read-only view.

Lol. Couldn't work on github, I thought it was just a slow connection so checked HN instead to see whether the page loads - and now I guess it wasn't just an issue on my end :D

How about git push heroku master from local branch?

I wrote some open source code to automatically mirror all my commits to Keybase.

I think read replica mirrors are good practice for fault-tolerant systems

Remove spiderweb dependencies from your deployment pipeline?

You can reliably hit the 504 screen (no real styling) by trying to pull up the blamelog for a large file that has a complex history
