How does someone know if there is an outage in the Spark Cloud?
Today, approximately 2:30 EST, I noticed that “spark list” and “spark flash” were working only sporadically. I have also seen the https://build.spark.io/ respond with “Request Timed out” and I had the same problem last Sunday, the situation eventually came back to normal.
Yep, there was an outage earlier today,details on http://status.spark.io. The problem was identified and preventative measures put in place.
You can subscribe to updates at http://status.spark.io to be notified whenever there’s an issue
In case you feel like there is an outage that isn’t noted on said page, then you could ask one of us (“us” being one of the Elites or one of the awesome people at Spark). Normally they’re fairly quick to respond.
