I see you're the author of Caddy, cool! Sometimes in Big Tech, this is a way to realize that some backend service is having issues because a proxy in front of the service is still returning a response. It's a rare failure case at most companies though.

Isn’t that what the previous comment said? I don’t think HTTP 504 is specific to Big Tech.

Explaining 504s to the author of Caddy is a move, to be sure.

I don't mind; my initial gut reaction forgot what the 504 was about. It's also helpful to other readers not as familiar with the topic! :)

What's the point of being so snappy and not assume good faith? I was just saying that sometimes it's fun to probe big tech during an outage, see a 504 and see `awselb` as the user agent returned, and get some outside visibility into what's going on inside. I recommend everyone do it, it's fun! It's like using eclipse glasses to look at an eclipse or binoculars to see jets in the sky.
