EDIT: To clarify, this singular 1hr Reddit issue is just one of MANY applications experiencing disruptions. Backend processes is a web of dependencies with other external services. I know for a fact broadband and electric dev teams are all hands on deck today. Something was triggered and teams are currently being called into their offices (some have never even seen their office for 2 years) and are on all night monitoring issues. I was just told they were called in early this morning and will be on call u till Monday morning.
