Heroku Down for Anyone Else?

15 points by dperfect ↗ HN
Some of my Heroku apps are working, and others just stopped responding to requests. Nothing showing on https://status.heroku.com, but quite a few people on Twitter seem to be reporting issues.

Edit: apps appear to be coming back online now

Yep. Started 21:56 UTC / 14:56 Pacific for us.

It's sad to see, because they used to be fully on top of stuff like this.

They finally posted to their status page about it: https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2451

> Beginning at approximately 21:54 UTC Aug 15th, routing availability for US Common Runtime-hosted apps dropped below acceptable levels. Engineering was notified and immediately began scaling up capacity to address demand needs.

Ours was almost completely unreachable for about 20 minutes, and is now mostly back online, except that ~10% of requests hang for ~5-15 seconds before being fulfilled. (This time is not accounted for in the 'connect' or 'service' times in the heroku/router log line.)

I wasn't affected by it but I have been getting random R99 errors when launching cron jobs. About 0.1% of jobs are affected and fail to launch.

Support basically has no idea why. Flakiness without understanding why is somewhat worrying to me.
