  An issue with a software upgrade apparently: http://www.redditstatus.com/incidents/902y2bfc3bq4 http://www.redditstatus.com/incidents/902y2bfc3bq4

    Let me guess... Wait, no. MS stopped that in July, right?

    "We had a slight issue with a routine software upgrade" - love the wording on that. Sounds like something I would tell my boss after accidentally taking prod down.

      "We'll be back momentarily." Posted about 1 hour ago. Seems serious.

        Their anti-Milo filter short circuited.

  And they're back. Although they seem to be struggling with heavy traffic. Edit: Actually it seems it's only partially up, most user information is still unavailable.

  Redundancy! You should be able to switch to your business continuity backup in less than a minute. Come on, people! It isn't that hard to keep the previous version running in read only mode from a read only DB, then recover by enabling writes on the back-end, spooling the transaction log from the false start over to it, turning off front-end read only, and going live!

    That sounds like all the combined costs of administering that would be less than the cost of a 1 hour outage once per year.
