Confirmed it's an Object Storage issue. I've personally had dramas uploading APK's to the play store. Also noticed a bunch of big websites down. Must be a decent issue.


Well this happens if you rely only on 3rd party providers. My email server is still running without any issues and without any indecent for last 3 years (system reinstall).

Surely no one can send me emails now that gmail is down as most of world is relying on single point of failure, but this is another story.

Moral of this story is - always own your mission critical infrastructure.

Sure, if you have the time and money to own it properly. How far do you need to go to say you own it? Multi-regional servers located on properties that you own?
