The status page shows the whole platform, down to reads from 200 cities

The status page used to be a list of services with a dot beside each. It is now Platform Status, and it answers the question you actually have when something feels slow: is it us, and is it where you are?

Known issues come first. Below them, the Database section lists every database node — the main cluster in Virginia and each regional copy — with the flag of the country it is in, whether it is answering, and how many seconds behind the main database it is. A regional copy that is down shows as a degradation for that region, not as an outage for everyone, because the routing has already moved its readers elsewhere.

Reads around the world times a real database read from 200 cities every 15 minutes, grouped by continent. Each city shows the data center it entered, the region it was routed to and how long the read took, marked near a copy or far from one. The same results are drawn on a world map, with each country shaded by its typical read and the path to its region shown when you hover over a city. Automatic routing lists every change the routing has made on its own and why.

The page is also much lighter — a fifth of the HTML and half the JavaScript it had — and it now fits a phone, keeping the columns that matter when the screen is narrow.
