Just proves how shady the status page and sla stuff is
2 comments

Google is 10 minutes late updating their status page.

"So shady"

It's really, really hard to make a status page realtime.

What makes you think it’s hard? We have AI generating songs and writing code, but setting up basic health checks is too much?
Yes. “Basic health checks” is not a real thing. I mean that genuinely.

> What makes you think it’s hard?

Being responsible (or rather, on a team of people responsible) for a status page of a big tech co made me think it’s hard.

“Is it down?” Is not a binary question.

An AI generated status page would be the epitome of 2025.
What makes you think it’s easy?
or how difficult it actually is to do that type of thing at scale
