Salesforce Global Outage

That status page is the most salesforce thing ever.

Scroll down. >_<

1h agoHN ↗

At least they're consistent about UX. My only complaint is that it needs more tabs.

1h agoHN ↗

I see tabs with a spinner loading infinitely, which is indeed very salesforce like

44m agoHN ↗

Wow, it's almost as long as the Every UUID V4 or Every Floating Point Number pages.

40m agoHN ↗

Yup. No mention of outage. Even drilling down gets nothing more than "Service Disruption".

24m agoHN ↗

It lists all instances, you can drill down into each one of them, see which services are affected, and each affected service pops up the incident timeline?

Isn't it actually amazing, and not "the most salesforce thing ever"?

1h agoHN ↗

This is certainly a unique status page.

1h agoHN ↗

At least now we can figure out what Salesforce does.

47m agoHN ↗

"And in tonight's news, the worldwide CRM solution Salesforce had a global outage affecting one hundred percent of its customer base. We interviewed users of the service to find out the scope of the impact. Everyone agreed that they were impacted, but strangely, nobody could describe _in what way_ they were affected."

Perfect timing with Dreamforce this week.

1h agoHN ↗

Remind me please, what are folks currently paying per seat for this glorified CRUD app?

53m agoHN ↗

It's this thing called golf course driven development

31m agoHN ↗

If I had been just out of Uni I would think this is edgy

Now I'm just glad I'm not responsible for this fire

1h agoHN ↗

Could it be people doing Claude/GPT automations and they just can't handle it?

1h agoHN ↗

And nothing of value was lost. God, I hate everything about Salesforce. Sometimes I have to integrate against their services, and it is always a pain, not to mention what the core project actually is: optimization of marketing and spam.

1h agoHN ↗

You better bet someone started their agents with a prompt "Make a salesforce clone but with 100% uptime"

52m agoHN ↗

Never before in the history of global compute outages was so little lost by so many down servers, whose purpose was known to so few.

58m agoHN ↗

So I guess today everyone gets actual work done

56m agoHN ↗

Wow, the intern must have tripped over a very big power cable this time

Sam speaks at Salesforce.

Salesforce goes down.

No causation here...move on.

52m agoHN ↗

My gut instinct is that this is about when all of their on prem servers were EOL and their /public cloud solution was required. This must have had something to do with that

50m agoHN ↗

My gut instinct is that this is about Dreamforce with the rickshaws and whatnot

51m agoHN ↗

Ah yes. Exactly what a status page should look like: an endless list of random ID’s that don’t mean anything and no information whatsoever

At least salesforce is consistent with their design language

49m agoHN ↗

random ID’s that don’t mean anything and no information whatsoever

If you use salesforce you know what all of that stuff means. Just click on one, it’s not rocket surgery.

44m agoHN ↗

Was really just poking fun at them - AWS’s status page isn’t much better

47m agoHN ↗

Looks like a region list to me, maybe just with a lot of regions

50m agoHN ↗

You can click on any of the instances and then the service that is down to read the updates. It’s not 100% clear but some sort of issue with a “legacy login service”. The latest updates say a fix is rolling out.

24m agoHN ↗

Haven't they got some kind of new fancy ai interface they can use to fix it?

16m agoHN ↗

Have you tried turning it off and then on again?

We're no longer pursuing restarts as a path to remediation.

Oh you have
