Not sure if related - but currently the entire SFO2 region is down (I am one of many people affected).

Has been down for around 7 hours.

The status page says lots of redundant power died in SFO2, so I would be surprised.

Title is misleading. The deletion of the production database was last week. Today, it's down in a single region because of multiple redundant power sources failed.

There are two separate current issues.

SFO2 is offline.

Cloud API panel was having issues before that and affects all regions.

Yes, but the same issue happened today (panel/api down for several hours), this is why I added the "is down again".

Many of my SF02 droplets came back on their own. Manually restarting via the control panel has worked for the rest.

My SFO droplets are online. But-- my trust with DO is pretty much gone.

It sounds like this outage was last week although the article is dated today. The title is misleading.

"Ouch: last week, Digital Ocean took the GitLab fat-finger pill, deleting a production database and triggering a five-hour outage"

Learnt a lesson. Do not put everything in a basket. My mail server was also in the SFO region. :( :(

I had to hide myself today behind someone else's desk in the office. :(
