[–] nimos 3y ago ↗ 502 for me. Back now.Interesting question though. What would happen if gmail just straight up lost all data?The deluge of people trying to change their email accounts and logins across so many businesses.A modern horror. [–] ahofmann 3y ago ↗ They lost data back in 2011: https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2011/03/01/goog...And they recovered everything. I assume that they lose data all the time, but restore everything fast enough, so we users simply don't notice.

[–] paranorman 3y ago ↗ I saw it too - props to the engineer that set page title to "Error 502 (Server Error)!!1"DownDetector picked up a surge of ~7k a few minutes ago
[–] revskill 3y ago ↗ It's interesting. Gmail surely contains tons of unused data due to 10GB limit of storage. Normally user would just create new account.
