Yep after the last major outage they switched to Heroku

  They were already running their status site on Heroku prior to the last major service outage.

    This is correct. They needed ~90 dynos to keep up with about 500 qps on their status page in the last outage. Source: http://news.ycombinator.net/item?id=4524489 http://news.ycombinator.net/item?id=4524489

      Should probably throw a Fastly or CloudFlare cache in front of a single dyno.

        That would suggest people in charge know what they're doing.
