Do any of these corporate status pages ever work? AWS doesn't and neither does CF. This website is a more useful status page

I don't think I've ever seen a status page report an issue at the time the issue was occurring. Seems a bit pointless.

  In my experience (with the sites I visit and care about), the status pages are usually pretty accurate and helpful.

  Because most of them are manually updated, and not pulling directly from an uptime system (at least for incidents, etc) (Also it doesn't help that uptime monitoring systems are usually stupid and love triggering on false positives)

Ironically, the cloudflare.com site is a more reliable indicator. If it doesn't load, then cloudflare is down. Their status page is a joke, likely crippled to reduce legal liability, but at this point it's just an outright misrepresentation.

  > Their status page is a joke, likely crippled to reduce legal liability, but at this point it's just an outright misrepresentation. It's just Atlassian Statuspage, which is a manually-updated incident response system. Unlike AWS, Cloudflare actually makes an effort to update it fairly quickly, but it can still be slow-to-update when something is immediately wrong.

    "Fairly quickly" meaning something like 30 mins to get a "we have identified there is an issue". For their status page to be broken down into individual services and regions, I get the impression of some kind of automated monitoring. The only service I saw get marked non-operational was their API, while their site and dashboard were not available at all yet marked as operational.

  > Their status page is a joke, likely crippled to reduce legal liability, but at this point it's just an outright misrepresentation. It's fairly standard practice these days for status pages to be manually updated. The difficulty with having them be automatically updated is that for it to be useful that system needs to have a greater reliability than the thing it's monitoring. The signal to noise ratio is otherwise a bit ridiculous.

    Reddit Status [1] isn't perfect, but it's miles better than a static page saying everything is operational while everything is in-fact inaccessible. That it took 30 minutes for the page saying everything is fine to be updated with a warning that there is an issue (while almost all of the services and regions remained marked as operational) only makes the ineffectiveness of that page more blatant. It goes without saying that the monitoring system must be separate from what it's monitoring and must be more reliable. Compared to running a CDN for half of the internet, automated monitoring is table-stakes. [1] https://www.redditstatus.com/ https://www.redditstatus.com/

It just updated to show Red a few seconds ago. Edit: at least it showed there was a problem within <10 minutes, unlike other status pages that sometimes are green the entire time.

A bit too early imo. It took it 3-5 minutes to start displaying errors.
