- The status history on the page makes it seem like this was intentional?

Issuance is beginning to stop. A fix to resolve the issue will roll out in about 8 hours

- People went ballistic on me a few months ago for bringing this up, but this is exactly the kind of outage that makes me really, really worried about extremely short lived certificates. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46118371
- Thought my Revanced patch got outdated for a second. Phew.
- Yeah, if Heroku's cert rotation depends on Google's CA and it tried to renew during the outage window, that'd definitely cause problems. The 8-hour ETA is rough. This is why multi-CA fallback configs exist, but most platforms don't bother until they get burned by something like this. Worth checking if your apps are actually affected or if it's just the dashboard/API having issues.

- I worked at RSADSI when I was a kid and supported the custom spin of TIPEM Hayden and Sophia used at Verisign. This brings back some very bad memories.
But... hopefully... people created overlapping windows of cert validity so there's always a valid cert available for their services and can tolerate the CA being out of action for 8(?) hours. Imagine if your TGS/Kerberos or AWS IAM IdP was down for 8 hours.

- It is a well-known fact that the moment YouTube goes down, the collective productivity of Earth increases by approximately 4,000%, which is immediately squandered by everyone going to Hacker News to read comments about YouTube being down. I myself have taken to podcasts… an ancient medium in which people simply talk at you for ninety minutes without a single sponsorship for a mobile game, and this is considered a failure
- Ah, so that’s probably why YouTube is also down (at the time of this comment)
- youtube (recommendations/homepage) also seems down, I wonder if its relater.

- It's a good thing we have ever-shrinking certificate lifetimes and automation never breaks. That's what I've been told, anyway.
- Everyone loves to say they work at $FAMOUS_COMPANY, but when something like this happens, no-one will say that they did this.
Looking forward to the post-mortem.
- Hmm why youtube does not work but google.com does.
Now I'm wondering if you rely on OCSP in a TLS client and the pki is Google does it still works?

- Still down
- The CA outage is hitting a lot of services, but yeah, Heroku's been on a slow decline since the Salesforce acquisition. Free tier killed, pricing creep, stagnant innovation. Even when it's not their fault, you start wondering if it's worth the risk of being on a platform that feels like it's in maintenance mode.
