somehow they managed to build complex systems like gmail, continuously develop new features there and not have massive outages due to "migrations" - suggests that something that they were doing right, they are no longer able to do

I'm pretty sure Google has had occasional severe outages for their whole history.

A single event is not data.

there were more than two recent incidents lately:

- YouTube outage this November 2020

- August 2020 outage of Google Suite including Gmail

in both cases no postmortems were published

Afaik, Google doesn't publish public PMs for non-paid offerings, so youtube doesn't get a public pm.

For the August outage, I believe there was a public pm. That said I can't find it now (I think there was some link rot somewhere, and I've escalated about that).

Two events in a single day.
