Huh, that's interesting timing. I co-host a podcast that walks through notable outages, and just yesterday we released an episode about Auth0's 2018 outage: https://downtimeproject.com/podcast/auth0-silently-loses-som...

Last time was due to several factors, but initially because of silently losing some indexes during a migration. I'm very curious what happened this time -- we'll definitely do a followup episode if they publish a postmortem.

If I could make a suggestion, I'd advertise the RSS feed in a more clear way on your website.

It's a very handy way to keep up with websites without having facebook/twitter/whatever in the middle.

I had to go lookup the rss feed from the html source code...

edit: aaand the rss is empty.

Ah, good idea. We just launched this last month and haven't given the website a lot of love yet. In the meantime, try https://downtimeproject.com/podcast/feed

Hi,

Really interesting project, I couldn't find your podcast using pocketcasts.com, so I added it through their form here: https://www.pocketcasts.com/submit/

They mention a few errors in your feed:

Problem 1: Your podcast doesn't seem to have an author

Solution: Get some credit for your work by adding the following tag to your feed: <itunes:author>Author’s Name Goes Here</itunes:author>

Problem 2: Your podcast doesn't seem to have a description

Solution: Add a podcast description using one of the following tags:

<description>Podcast description goes here.</description> <itunes:subtitle>Podcast description goes here.</itunes:subtitle>

Problem 3: Some of your episodes are missing a file length

Include the file length in bytes with each episode enclosure item:

<enclosure url="http://www.yourhost.com/episode1.mp3" length="25209836" type="audio/mpeg" />

that works, thank you!

Ooh, this is a neat podcast niche that I'll probably enjoy! If you're taking suggestion of public postmortems to talk about I recommend Github's 2018 outage [1,2] caused by a network partition.

That looks great! I'll put this on the list, thank you!
