    Despite all of the snark here, in my experience Salesforce SRE team is quite competent. The engineering challenges of running a large PaaS - not just with own apps, but with millions of customer-written apps running on it - are quite interesting, and sadly things happen. The status page makes sense to actual customers, it's the particular "pods" where a given service runs.

      Hmm, could the use of genAI have anything to do with this failure and the inability to quickly fix it?

        The bug was from 2009, so probably not :)
