When something happens

A focused newsletter on cloud outages and their post-mortems, for on-call engineers who learn from other people's nights

What an issue holds

When something falls over: what broke, how long it lasted, and the provider's own post-mortem once it lands, plus what the status page's history shows over time. Nothing between incidents; for an on-call engineer who wants to learn from other people's nights, not a running uptime tracker.

What it leaves out

Not minor blips with no post-mortem and no lasting lesson, not outage speculation before any official statement, not marketing framed as a reliability update, not uptime percentage league tables.

Where the news comes from

Cloudflare status history, AWS status, Google Cloud status, GitHub status history, DigitalOcean status history.

Nobody gets this one yet. It starts when you do.
