What's the point of having a status page when it can't reliably tell you the factual status?
- szatkus 6y agoIt's red already.
- s_dev 6y agoNo -- it needs to be red when it's having the outage for people to have confidence in it as an indicator. The reality is Google have no real incentive to provide an actual external status page that is accurate -- to do so is an admission of not upholding SLAs. These status pages are updated retrospectively. Use a third party one like DownDetector.
- woofie11 6y agoHelps Google meet a 99.999% SLA!
- koheripbal 6y agoNot really since now it's up, and the status page still says it's down.
- keithnoizu 6y agoright after I shamed them on twitter. I take responsibility despite it unlikely having any impact.
- oneeyedpigeon 6y agoEspecially one that breaks the back button.
- jaimex2 6y agoCustomer confidence. Same as how everyone reports they have 99.99% uptime.
