Do these things ever go red?
I mean, I understand the disincentive to do this, but for something like AWS (where error icons are even more subtle than this) I care about accuracy way more than looking scary.

I wonder if there's an "engineer's feed" out there somewhere that looks like mumbo-jumbo to the layperson but could actually be useful in allowing companies to disclose issues without the softer side of the company flipping their lids.
Separately, many of the Status pages out there setup with the Statuspage.io service also incorporate "Pingdom" like features where heartbeats and/or checks are automatically collected and notifications and updates set without intervention.
It's nice to see they've carried on this same policy with Heroku, for all the flaws the company has they put their money where their mouth is.
All the numbers usually tell a story
On the flip side, I've had a total inability to use EE in North Yorkshire for about 2 weeks and yet their status checker reports absolutely no problems in my area (whilst Level 2 support admits they won't have an engineer on-site until next Wednesday now).
Your suggestion for an engineer feed would be greatly appreciated; there's nothing worse than spending half a day trying to narrow down an issue only to find out it's a known and unreported fault... "to err is to be human, to lie about it is ruddy infuriating".

Some find it useful, some don't.
Most startups / side projects these days seem to use a cloud hosting service... But you're project is meant to work especially when the cloud hosting providers are down.
Where are you hosted? Or do you host on multiple services?
