Google Apps Crashes And Stays Grounded
By Daya Baran at June 17, 2008 0 Comments
The Google service that boasts that any developer working in their basement, can all of a sudden work at the scale of Google using its infrastructure with high reliability got a rude awakening today. The service crashed and remains grounded. A few weeks ago Google’s Pete Koomen boasted that signups were “reaching 150,000 people” per week, however there was no mention of it on the official blog to developers about the service being down. I would think any service that is signing up that many people per week would have the courtesy and responsibility to inform their customers. After all you are selling them RELIABILITY. Further, if there were that many developers I would think there would be a BIG OUTBURST. But nothing. Not even a whimper. How can that be?
