A friend at Google's telling me it's partially back up. Anyone still facing issues?

Ask your friend to build a post about what happened. I can imagine the heat in the online conference, one thing is to get all nodes from one service down; another thing is to get all the servers down at the same time.

Clearly they're using the same infrastructure for everything which IMHO is a huge mistake

Clearly they're using the same infrastructure for everything which IMHO is a huge mistake.

Let's not forget that most Google services have exceptional reliability and things like today's outage are incredibly rare. I'd bet that failures due to interoperability between disparate services would cause a lot more downtime than Google suffers right now if teams ran different infrastructures.
