Google is down
google.comIncredible that I've used Google all my life and it's taken until today for me to see an outage. A testament to the SREs at Google.
If anyone hasn't see the Google SRE book, I highly recommend it. https://landing.google.com/sre/books/
Seems to be back up.
I can't remember the last time it went down but I hope they're transparent about what happened. I'm sure we could all learn something about how to manage large globally distributed search engines of our own...
People always say this, but how many HN readers are really running anything even close to the scale of google.com? And how many should worry about completely different things..
It's back up. It was down for about a minute here. Impressively quick fix.
It was down for about 3 minutes for me. Just long enough to change my default search engine to DuckDuckGo.
Tried to google “is google down”... oops.
I did too, and it said "No" but only returned one page of results (mostly books).
Works on my machine
what does the phrase "google is down" even mean in this world?
I mean its the largest and most well spread internet service company in the world. "google" isn't just one service is a massive collection of services.
which part is down, in which area at which time and in which circumstance...?
It just seems like such an absurd phrase in this day and age.
It's up for me.
Working fine for me.
