Trello is down too. I wonder if there's a service they're both using that's the root of it.

Running my side project StatusGator, I have a good view of 200 different service status pages and there are about 20 services now showing down or warning notices.

A quick spot check seems most of those are related to GitHub, however. Often times when AWS or Heroku or similar hosting service posts downtime you can see 30% of the services I monitor go down at all once.

Long time StatusGator customer here. Great service.
I just signed up for an account. Looks good!

Some feedback:

- Great if there was more granularity for some services. Down/warning for all of AWS is not useful. Better if one could scope to region or even better region + service.

- The distinction between warn/down is not entirely clear. Also, it's not clear if it varies between services.

- Great with Slack integration!

- Instead of only selecting by drop-down or search, it would be great with a wall-like page with name + icon/logo, to make it easier to quickly find the service.

- Good with historic stats, makes it easier to choose between down/warn (to know how 'noisy'i it'll be).

Wow, thank you so much for the feedback. I'm often surprised how hard it is to extract honest, actionable feedback from people even with nice personal emails.

Some of these features are already in development!

You're welcome!

If you make a wall-like page for selecting services, I'd suggest this layout: https://www.dropbox.com/enterprise

Basically the logo in white against the primary-color of the brand. Very easy to scan and looks clean.

mind mentioning some of the bigger names?
Mailchimp was as well. Both Trello and Mailchimp reverse proxy through Akamai.

Github is on their own gear on their own netblock, but might be on the same IXP fabric with an Akamai POP.

I am more familiar with this map: http://map.norsecorp.com/

There is no DDoS going on right now.

This and parent commenter's link paint _completely_ different pictures - do either of you know why?

The Akamai link shows Europe red hot, with the UK at "~17% attack", whatever that means. Norse Corp link shows nothing of the sort, UK so negligible as to not even make the list.

That means 17% of traffic/attacks all around the globe right now is in the UK. There is nothing useful to understand with that information ^^

[Either traffic or attacks depending on which graphs you look at]

The graph I gave show current attacks in live. If there was a DDoS going you'd see a shittons of lines going toward a single location.

Makes sense right now since I would assume large chunks of that are video traffic and people are at home, netflixing, youtubing, et al.
Speaking of Akamai... Apple Music, the App Store, and Facetime are being flaky right now too. Apple Music has completely stopped working for me.
Maybe another DDOS dry run? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not doing too bad of a job if this isn't their A game.
Maybe? http://downdetector.com/ if you look at the charts quite a few spiked around the same time.
Can't access- flagged as a 'fair use violation'. No details provided, first time I've been on this site. Any idea what's going on?
Never heard of that before, but it's loading fine for me. Maybe it's all the company logos tripping something you have on your computer or network?
trello is working ok for me at the moment - their status page seems to indicate its only certain locations affected. http://www.trellostatus.com/
