Tell HN: HN had a temporary service issue/outage

1 pointuser_78323 comments

HN had a brief outage (perhaps 1-2 minutes) a few minutes ago (around 9.05pm CEST). Did anyone else notice it?

A message said "We're having some trouble serving your request. Sorry!"

HN has brief outages all the time.

Huh, that's interesting, thanks for letting me know. I don't think I've ever seen such a similar brief outage on HN. Any idea what might cause something like this?

I'm not sure if the server is getting overloaded or it's just randomly crashing.
