In a moment that's likely to be very, very frustrating for a large number of you that have businesses and customers that depend on G cloud, let's try to remember that somewhere there's an engineer or an SRE having a really hard day just trying to fix things. Please, be kind and decent to each other, especially when things are hard.

I don't follow comments like these, should people refrain from criticising giant companies because there are people working at them? I don't understand the purpose of this comment

The purpose of the comment, to me, is to remind folks to refrain from taking your frustration with a product or a company out on a person.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

unrelated. very big company with thousands of products that don't suffer outages. two incidents doesn't make a pattern.

I would argue that two direct Google Cloud outages within a month is pretty concerning for GCP customers, and that it's possible that the calendar outage could also be related in someway since it is likely hosted on GCP, although that is speculation

Doubt Calendar is hosted on GCP. Generally Google does not run first-party systems on GCP, instead putting them on Borg (internal cloud).

Complaining about the communication and response time of a company is different from yelling in the direction of some stressed engineer that they are useless and incompetent at everything they do. Sadly you get too much of the latter around the Internet.

It's supposed to remind you that the real nines of availability are the friends you make a long the way.

Why so many problems at Google lately? Calendar down two weeks ago[0], and Google Cloud had a larger outage a month ago[1] [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20213092 [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20077421

No, He's just talking about all the people running around right now trying to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.

Criticizing Google is fine, but sometimes, the best deployments to production can go wrong.

To whomever commented something like 'laughs in AWS' (comment was removed before I submitted the comment)...

please don't...

glass house and all that... but I also share the same glass house as you.. I don't want bad luck

... and it's only a fluke that this happened to google in eu-east1 and not AWS in X region and then you (and I) would be having a time of hell! :/
