Facebook Platform was down

74 pointsby haneyover 6 years ago
A check of https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developers.facebook.com&#x2F;status&#x2F;dashboard&#x2F; returns an error and I&#x27;m unable to login with facebook to some of my mobile apps.<p>EDIT: Commenters are reporting that this appears to only impact users that are hitting the US data center[1], and that it may only impact users through specific ISPs<p>1.https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=18434457<p>EDIT: Appears to be back up

This should be an interesting postmortem, if they have one. I think Netflix never released a postmortem of their latest downtime.

Back up for me.<p>Facebook makes ~$105k in revenue per minute [1]. Since the outage was seemingly only US-based, and it lasted ~30 minutes, this outage probably cost them just over a million bucks.<p>Pretty staggering to think about.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ycharts.com&#x2F;companies&#x2F;FB&#x2F;revenues" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ycharts.com&#x2F;companies&#x2F;FB&#x2F;revenues</a>

Moving fast and breaking things!

Interestingly I VPN&#x27;d into a node in Dublin and it is still working there.<p>Iowa (direct) and SF (VPN) were both erroring out sitewide. Anecdotally it seemed to start in Analytics and spread to Facebook.com and finally to the platform over the course of ~15 minutes. But not sure if that&#x27;s representative.

Using a completely oversimplified estimation method and 2017 revenue numbers, they&#x27;re losing about $1300 every second their website is down.

So much for the pivot to &quot;move fast with stable infrastructure.&quot;

Yep but only through the Verizon connection. Phone works, Tor connection to FB works, so it&#x27;s probably localized.
