The sad state of the internet and the world wide web, from a decentralized network envisioned to withstand nuclear armageddon [1] to a series of services so intertwined and full of single points of failure that a focused attack can take cause worldwide outages and disrupt communications everywhere.

Also Github seemed down for parts of the morning.

I'm unable to resolve github.com currently from France, using Google DNS resolvers.

Heroku was/is down. Apparently they missed the memo where a service provider like them is supposed to handle things like this for us and not keep all their eggs in one basket.

What cloud provider of PaaS uses a single company for their DNS? Pitiful.

I don't think Heroku has actually gone down.

We are on Heroku and have had some of our customers have access issues, but only a few.

They use DynDNS to resolve all their internal services to AWS, so yes they were/are.

None of the toolbelt commands were working for us.

Probably because GitHub was down? I could not attach buildpacks, but could change configs.

I'm seeing major sites like Paypal, Braintree and Twitter down. Is any of you noticing that too?

PayPal is down here in Dallas, TX. Twitter is having issues loading images.

Was going to move our websites over to a new server today but something tells me the timing might not be ideal...

Suddenly I feel the pain of having infrastructure-as-code hosted on github. Pagerduty was hosed too.

Say, is someone also DDoSing the npm registry? I get a bunch of 5xx errors...

Might just be a result of the dns issues?

not everyone (I understand that might be a joke :-))

Right now I can't build nodejs apps because of unreachable external dependencies
