Includes services that use Fastly like Imgix.
- sitepodmatt 9y agoYeah I was disappointed that Imgix status page was 10+minutes behind Fastly, thankfully through Twitter/HN we were able to get a grasp of the situation before Imgix updated their all green page or responded to our tickets. It shocks me that a large provider like Imgix hasnt got a simple AWS Lambda timer, or Azure Function or whatever Google version is to check the status api or even scrap their upstream providers status page using say Cheerio and post something like 'we are investigating a potential problem, standby' orange alert till a human to get the bottom of the full picture. And yes, I consider 10+ minutes to publicly acknowledge to be poor for any large scale SaaS. I guess this attitude is related to a negative experience years ago with popular transaction email as a service provider that sounds like a poststamp that went down and didn't get fixed to their techs woke up many hours later (albeit all mail was queued - they were still 200ing err.. ) - I want to know you're on it and awake.
