Why do so many status pages seem to crash/incorrect report when the service goes down?
Once you get on the page:
We're really sorry but this system is currently
experiencing some technical problems.
Our engineers have been notified, so please check back
later.
- WrtCdEvrydy 8y agoBecause hosting your own status page seems like a fine idea until your service goes down and 1 million people come to figure out what's wrong or even worse, just lose the entire status page along with your infrastructure.
- otoburb 8y agoBest practice is to host the status page on completely separate infrastructure. This adds a lot of operational overhead often seen as disproportionately low benefit relative to the ongoing effort to maintain, until rare events like this actually happen.
