> This is a frustrating outage for us, a huge part of the attraction in Google Cloud has been the premise that we get the underlying reliability of Google's infrastructure. If we'd known what the reliability of Google in practice this year would look like, we might have stayed with AWS. if this statement you quoted is something you're not comfortable with, i have a hard time believing you have ever encountered critic…

In case it wasn't clear, that's a perfectly fine criticism. I edited the above to make it clear that strikes me as totally reasonable.

ah ok, the first time i read it, i thought you meant both were not appropriate, but now i see it was meant to contrast

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

Don't forget the Google Fi outage from a short while ago: https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/3/18650851/google-fi-service...

Kind of related to this, but these types of outages are why I moved from Google Play to Spotify for streaming music. Their infrastructure seems so large that things that should be a standalone service, like streaming music, are bound to be collateral damage when they mess something up on another service. Having everything provided by one company is convenient until it all goes down at the same time and you can't access your email, videos, or music because they all run on the same infrastructure.

Cloudflare was returning a 502 this morning, wonder if they're related. Lots and lots of sites down for about an hour, including all of Shopify.

I highly doubt Google are using CloudFlare networks. Must be just a coincidence.

or CloudFlare using GCP :)

Can you please not post unsubstantive comments to HN?

how is this any less substantive than the comment directly above that's just "There but for the grace of God go we"?

One is calling for tolerance while the other is cheap snark. Also, one is about the situation at hand while the other is a comment about a comment. Also, one was written as an ordinary sentence while the other signals low effort as a snark booster. Perhaps most importantly, the accounts have very different histories. When we do moderation replies we're usually reacting to the account's overall pattern as much as to the specific post.
