Proof that services written in Erlang CAN go down! (Though it's probably DNS...)

Is it still written in Erlang?

Erlang and Rust!

Curious that since it's the .in domain, the map just shows India. But if you replace it with .com, or .de, it will show the map of those countries (with .de it redirects to a German version of the domain).

Someone said the other week that downdetector just monitors how many people check their site for outages, and if in a five minute time period 20000 people are looking at them to see if WhatsApp is down... then, that's what they report.

Instagram down as well.

Everything else works fine for me, but the stories I shared 18 hours ago have vanished. On the webpage, Instagram's API returns a 502 error when I try to view them.
