That status incident page at https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2822 is currently taking nearly 60 seconds to load for me, with a spinner.

Which is odd, heroku I'd think would be pretty good at keeping it's status page infrastructure separate enough to stay up. Must mean something pretty fundamental in their architecture is malfunctioning. :(

but when I am able to see the error page, it did say "Heroku continues to investigate and remediate an issue with intermittent outages" -- I would say it is acknolwedged. Yes, that message is 3 hours old. The fact that it's taking them over 3 hours to fix is disturbing, but getting contant progress communication isn't really urgent for me -- I know they know about it, I know they are working to fix it, I'd like them to fix it _quicker_ but I don't need a play-by-play, "can't even acknowledge an incident" is NOT a problem being exhibited, it's acknowledged.

We'll wait and see what it was. A good retrospective write-up goes a long way to increasing many people's confidence, including mine.

I wonder whether heroku is some kind of monolith, if something crashes, the whole thing crashes.
