Schadenfreude was exactly the word I was going to use when I considered posting this news. I love that word.
I've got to say that I feel really good after reading the outage postmortem yesterday and then hearing this news this morning. Whenever there's an App Engine outage, or increase in error rate, it seems really dire to us because we get a lot of people charging to this forum to alert people to the outage. But yesterday's postmortem explained that while the March 8th outage lasted a while, it didn't effect everyone, and Google was aware of the problem pretty quickly. For me the bottom line is that I'd rather have a Googler's pager go off when there's a problem than have to set up elaborate failsafes on EC2. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
