Is Heroku down?

Posted by frisco on Thursday March 15, 2012 @05:35AM
from the self-post dept.

Two of my apps just disappeared, heroku-cli "can't connect to api.heroku.com", and http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/heroku.com claims that it's down from their perspective too. status.heroku.com claims everything's ok, though. Any idea what's going on?

I think their problem is upstream, a few Amazon Web Services hosted apps are down at the moment. No word from AWS about an outage yet: http://status.aws.amazon.com/

Edit: They have a notice up now.

  2:40 AM PDT We are investigating connectivity issues for EC2 in the US-EAST-1 region.

They are acknowledging a networking problem now.

Upon regaining access to our servers, Pingdom did not report the site as back up until 15 minutes later. In our configuration, Pingdom checks once a minute, from all over the world - which did imply a network connectivity issue.

Would love to know the root cause. Especially if international connectivity takes 15 minutes to come back. Maybe DNS related?

We're hosted in AWS and pretty much all of our servers are now unreachable.

This is going to be a nightmare.

Down for me as well. Perhaps log a service ticket?
