Claude.ai is down… Powered by Atlassian StatusPage. SaaS is dead, but even Anthropic needs SaaS!

Agree with your statement overall but to be honest, status pages are the only SaaS which might make sense. For example, some hosting providers themselves who sell VPS etc. won't run their own website in their VPS and I asked one of the providers why and they mentioned because if they do and the servers go down, their website would 404 too, so they host on other infra in a sense for better redundancy.

Isn't there a thought here that you don't host your status page on your infra itself, and if for example they are using hetzner etc. and hosting their own vibe coded one, then they might need an engineer so might as well have Saas whose whole job is this.

I could've maybe recommended one of those status software[0] which actually runs on github actions but github themselves seem to have some downtime :p

I got 2 500s and quickly popped over to codex since I was just doing documentation and planning work and didn't neeeeeeed claude. He's already back for me. :) To another's point, yeah, it's sad that Claude taking a brief hiatus just halts workflow. I imagine my whole team just started packing for a beach trip. Then again, I suppose if the CPA office computers go down, everyone doesn't dust off giant ledgers and quill…

The big difference is the number of 9s you get from LLM APIs versus your CPA office computers. Building a business around something with 0-2 nines is a nightmare.

World: What's your uptime?

Anthropic: 9.

World: 9 nines? That's awesome!

Anthropic: No, a singular 9. 90-something percent uptime.

SaaS is dead because large chunks of the industry can't do work or understand their codebase without depending on a proprietary AI model from a single provider.

And you thought GitHub or us-east-1 outages were bad.

It's strange to think how dependent people have become on these tools to the point where they can't function until they're back to normal.

This is true in many industries. Try to build a house without tools.

That's why AI isn't really a tool here. You can buy a new drill. If you replace all your house builders with a house factory then you're utterly reliant on the company that makes the factory.

By now they would have done a sweep with Mythos to remove any existing bugs and protect it from any cybersecurity attacks. So what could realistically bring it down at this point? Internal espionage?

Really can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. But clearly there's no silver bullet here. Mythos is not the end of software engineering
