No sign on the status page. But two separate / unrelated accounts I know about are fully down right now. Data services / backend workers seem fine, web/routing layer seems to be dead.

As the other commenter said, pretty sure it's at the routing layer. Deploys, start ups, all working just fine for our apps. But router can't reach them. Related to the Google CA outage maybe?

Not sure if this has any relation but Youtube front page since a couple minutes is void of video's, just top menu and a black page, and the recommended videos sidebar is completely empty too.

Yea, we have several applications on heroku. Only failures are the ones that had platform initiated restarts after 5pm MST. Likely tried to get a new cert on restart and then fails. Don't deploy or do manual restarts right now.

Perhaps related: on Downdetector right now I see outages reported in the past few minutes for GCP, Cloudflare, and AWS. Youtube is also down.

Unusual to see all three blowing up at the same time.

A Heroku app of mine went down starting at ~7:43pm Eastern US (I KNOW, I need to migrate it elsewhere), and in a separate, weird "thing is down" instance, some pages in the Epic healthcare app seem to be offline. Also seeing that YouTube issue.

Nice of Heroku/salesforce to join the party - an hour late: https://status.salesforce.com/incidents/20003708

Looks like we had platform initiated restarts that ended up taking down the whole app. Yay!
