Cause: Legacy Salesforce login service got into a resource-exhaustion cascade.
Fix: Rolling some unspecified fix they proved in testing out over the fleet seemingly very slowly (After their earlier attempts to roll something out faster failed).

Have you tried turning it off and then on again?

Oh you have

You can click on any of the instances and then the service that is down to read the updates. It’s not 100% clear but some sort of issue with a “legacy login service”. The latest updates say a fix is rolling out.

Unplanned outage timing is never good but this is really not good.

That status page is the most salesforce thing ever.
Scroll down. >_<

Haven't they got some kind of new fancy ai interface they can use to fix it?

You better bet someone started their agents with a prompt "Make a salesforce clone but with 100% uptime"

This is certainly a unique status page.

It's dns isn't it

Perfect timing with Dreamforce this week.

My gut instinct is that this is about when all of their on prem servers were EOL and their /public cloud solution was required. This must have had something to do with that

Sam speaks at Salesforce.
Salesforce goes down.
No causation here...move on.

And nothing of value was lost. God, I hate everything about Salesforce. Sometimes I have to integrate against their services, and it is always a pain, not to mention what the core project actually is: optimization of marketing and spam.

Could it be people doing Claude/GPT automations and they just can't handle it?

Wow, the intern must have tripped over a very big power cable this time

Dreamforce, wake up. You’ve overslept!

So I guess today everyone gets actual work done

It’s akways DNS or login
jackdecker today at 11:39 AM
Ah yes. Exactly what a status page should look like: an endless list of random ID’s that don’t mean anything and no information whatsoever
At least salesforce is consistent with their design language

Was it DNS? Any guesses? :)

Remind me please, what are folks currently paying per seat for this glorified CRUD app?

Never before in the history of global compute outages was so little lost by so many down servers, whose purpose was known to so few.

At least now we can figure out what Salesforce does.
