It is manually updated, by humans. Humans have high latency. It is not "agile" or "modern" or "hip" to have automated status testing/reporting. A human had to go and change that status page.
- taurath 7y agoWhen you're a public company the risk of your automated system saying something that invokes more fear than is necessary gets a lot higher.
- dmitrygr 7y agoYup, that is also why the status page now says things are "9/10 up" and for the first 20 minutes said "something is maybe slightly kinda wrong" nad not "outage". As if pretending nothing is wrong will make things right again.
- _jal 7y agoYep. I would be surprised to learn of non-infrastructure companies that wired their public outage notice directly to automated monitors with no human confirmation.
- foobarbecue 7y agoAha, I had figured it would be automatic. That does make sense, though.
