Snowflake Is Down Globally
- marcinzm 5y agoLooks to be their authentication layer since existing connections kept working even when new connections couldn't be made.
- bpodgursky 5y agoYeah, hard to see what else would take down every region at once.
- SigmundA 5y agoIt always seems to be auth, the gatekeeper is the single point of failure in many systems it seems.

- WFHRenaissance 5y agoThis status page... the lack of updates... it's like watching snow melt
- bpodgursky 5y agoGlobal outages make a lot of people feel good about not bothering to set up multi-region deployments though.
- klyrs 5y agoI came here expecting global warming jokes.
- WFHRenaissance 5y agoIt would make sense if the outage was constrained to US-West, given the heatwave and all.
- ApolloFortyNine 5y agoYikes, there's not separating availability zones, then there's not separating entire regions and continents.
- x86_64Ubuntu 5y agoThey may have a single point of failure shared in a sub-sub-sub-service. Or, they may have pushed not-so-great code into all regions/zones and whatnot.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoAWS IAM is no different. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24498678 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24498678
- ApolloFortyNine 5y agoThat post mentions us-east-1, so it's not really the same (limited to region).
- slenk 5y agoI wonder if that is what is causing the Slack issues

- coolspot 5y agoI appreciate their honest status page. In contrast to Amazon/Cloudflare’s “some users may experience delays” when in fact everything is down for a whole continent.
- londons_explore 5y agoThe "some users" wording comes from the fact that at any point in time only a small proportion of users are trying to use the service. Anyone not using the service when it is down isn't experiencing a service outage.
- joelbondurant 5y agoLOL
- PostThisTooFast 5y agoWhatever that is.
- dgudkov 5y agoWow, Snowflake can do incident notification via webhooks! Pretty cool.
