Seems hard for a new deployment to cause a global outage since they do a phased deploy. Could be some network glitch causing this issue. We never know until they come up with an update.
- dangwu 6y agoEverywhere I’ve worked has done phased deployments. Shit still goes wrong all the time. Also, I would wager that most outages are not due to code deployments, but live config changes.
- samrohn 6y agoMakes sense. I recollect some of the postmortem reports I read where live config changes triggered cascading outages.
