Let me look in the calendar; is it Wednesday, aka facebook code dump day? Yeah, surprise.

Move fast and break things!


It's not just the main website.

beta.facebook.com graph.facebook.com developers.facebook.com

Mostly dead on port 80/443 or returning error codes.

Not really pointing to a faulty code push. Must be something more sinister going on.


From #facebook @ freenode:

Reason for outage?

Internal issues? DOS? Hack?


They are moving too fast

I got a something went wrong page right before the outage...

And then you realise that global productivity doesn't go up... it is just replaced by a bunch of people hitting Refresh like crazy.
