API is locked down, my instances (PX) seem to be running fine though.

Lockdown is normal in an incident. It helps protect the running apps from more issues.

llamataboot• 12 years ago

Yes, I wasn't trying to imply anything was "bad" about it or there was a security issues. Just noting the (hopefully brief) outage.

as you say currently running apps appear to be fine and dandy.

We're experiencing network connectivity issues in eu-west-1 at the moment, confirmed on the AWS status page

Is Heroku running on AWS?

marcusr4• 12 years ago

Yes, it is.

stevejalim• 12 years ago

Yes.

The "network connectivity" issues are pretty funky, our ELB sometimes just gets a timeout on connecting, sometimes works fine and sometimes gives the SSL cert of another site (though always the same CN).

Edit: we are on standard AWS/ELB, not Heroku.

Edit2: seems to be working and AWS updated their status as well. However pretty scary that some of our traffic got sent to someone else's LB/servers.

Our Elastic Beanstalk app behind an ELB gone haywire too. It has been scaling itself up and down, throwing out errors from time to time..

marcusr4• 12 years ago

Similar here, direct to an instance, it runs at about full speed for 15 seconds, then stops. We can SSH in no problem, and the web logs show some people are connecting in fine.

Funny how the AWS status page still has a green tick (and a small discrete (i)) even though there's a confirmed problem.

marcusr4• 12 years ago

Looks like they've fixed whatever the issue was as our networking is back to normal.

As I sit sipping my coffee in south soma (SF), I'm imagining what the climate must be like over at 640 7th St.

I was the ops director at my company for about a year. Even though I've moved to a different role, posts like this trigger a visceral, physical, almost Pavlovian feeling. Still.

I bet it's awesome being the ops directory -- sounds like so much fun!

THAT is a nice palette!

bellerocky• 12 years ago

Totally unrelated to the post, but it is striking how changed the main heroku website is. It used to be this beautifully designed website with lots of detailed line art and subtle depth and glowing effects, and now it's this flat purple with some text. I always thought the beautiful "how it works" section was useless, but now this site is a shade of what it once was. They could have at least kept some of the art culture in the design, it was part of the Heroku brand. Now it looks like every other Salesforce website, only purple, except for the sign in page.

I'm not sure, but for websites trying to offer Paas/IaaS solutions I much prefer simple, no-nonsense design.

asadlionpk• 12 years ago

I like their status page!

swayvil2• 12 years ago

Me too!

Light purple text on dark purple on black? How about try and consider accessibility and make it readable. Terrible palette, as Heoku has always had.

xvolter2• 12 years ago

Notice they haven't mentioned what the issue is caused by, just that they consider it resolved.
