Uptime has never really been Heroku's strong suit. I wonder why we've never heard a meta-analysis from them as far as what they could do to improve it.
To clarify, this incident did not impact running applications. It only affected the ability to make changes to running apps. AKA, this incident did not affect application uptime.
It affected my ability to run commands on production applications. The fact that the status was degraded only for 'development' was, in my mind, disingenuous. Production should should have been orange, not green.
