We currently investigating an issue causing project downtime. We’ll post updates going forward on our status page: Glitch Status - Experiencing project downtime

Still service down, pretty bad platform, third time that glitch is fully down in this year.
I can’t sign in with Google - it just results in an infinite load. Hope this can get resolved soon.
The status page says that a fix has been deployed, which is good, but I’m still experiencing projects refusing to load. Maybe the fix is just taking a while to kick in but I thought I might as well chip in, just in case.
Everybody just needs to calm down, they are fixing it.

Hey folks, thanks for your patience. We just moved the status back to “identifying”-- we had done work to mitigate the issue, but in the process of all the projects coming back up (we got about 75% there) we ran into a backlog that is causing our systems some distress. We’re working now to get the backlog cleared out so that requests can start flowing into & out of our systems again. We’ll look for a little more assurance that things are fully stable before we flip it back to Monitoring again.

It’s a little disappointing that this outage has been ongoing for 4 hours with no proper resolution. Unfortunately this has forced me to slowly migrate my projects over to a more reliable hosting service. 
I totally understand your frustration @roman and apologize for the trouble here. The team is actively working hard towards a resolution, but I encourage you to do what you need to do!

Hi everyone, we’re seeing signs of consistent recovery, and there’s a good chance that your specific project may be in a healthy state. As a precaution, we’re still keeping the status page up in a “Monitoring” state and are in an active response posture.

Hey everyone, we resolved the incident on our status page about 5 minutes ago. Things have cleared up and all indications are that projects are running smoothly and have been handling requests with no issue for a little while. We’ll be holding a retrospective as soon as we can find time to get everyone together to figure out what safeguards we can put in place in the future to minimize the chance of this kind of failure (and to have faster ways to recover from it if it does arise).

What site might that be? Replit changed there hosting to be paid, and so unless you want to pay, there is no good, free hosting site like Glitch aside from maybe GitHub.

Maybe something like CloudFlare workers or Deno run for server-side stuff + Github Pages for client-side but for me at least it’s just much more easier to use Glitch. It is impossible to prevent downtime.
Also remember that Glitch is fully free (with an optional paid plan), plus keeping such a large number of projects (idk how much Glitch actually has) online 24/7 AND keeping the fast AND managing tons of servers etc is a really hard task.
