What's going on with google lately? First the google cloud outage earlier this month and now this? I wonder if there's some sort of systemic problem they're dealing with

Now I'm curious when the last time Google search went down? they must lose a lot of money everytime that happens. or is that one of those services where they spend ridiculous amounts of money and talent on making sure it never goes down?

Surprised nothing shows up on https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status for it. What's the point of a status site that doesn't reflect the status?

it's there now.

Hmm, I don't see anything there yet for me.

It's amazing how many of these status pages don't actually work in many situations.

These pages at Google/Amazon/Netflix are updated by the incident response team, so it's a manual task.

I'm guessing that Google search is easier to distribute over a larger set of machines, since the data it uses is static to a large degree and less bound to specific users.
