Glowforge servers OVERWHELMED right now

Is anyone else having difficulty getting their connection to the GF servers? Such a nice day to be creative without an outlet. :glowforge::pensive:

Yep, canā€™t upload any files or use any I already had uploaded. Wonderful.

Yeah, the app says Iā€™m ā€œofflineā€ even though the machine itself is up & running.

offline can just mean wifi issues, but with everyone elseā€™s problems, it may be related.

I think the Google cloud is having difficulty; Iā€™ve had a couple other widgets start complaining about ā€œcloud services are downā€

I was having a tough time about 20 ago, but up and running now. Hope you guys are too.

I just had a Trace operation complete successfully, which is a cloud-compute function that should have failed at the slightest provocation, so at least some of their servers are back up?

Well get down there, unplug it, and plug it back in again! :sweat_smile::cry:

Thatā€™s my core competency! But there are many people turning the cloud on and off again, so it should be working again soon.

My compute engine on Google cloud is doing fine. Its zone is US-Central1-a.

App opens fine. Havenā€™t booted up the Glowforge though.

Maybe the cloud needs to be salted with silver nitrate! :laughing:

Nope. Still not working here. Been lucky, pretty much the first time ever for me. Unexpected Error on the already uploaded Target Symbol. Canā€™t get simpler than that.

Welcome to the age where most companies use other companies computing platforms to function. I was standing the middle of a Home Depot and my phone was getting messages about work things falling off the planet and was unreachable. Before I got to my car I got 3 phone calls asking what was going on.

From Google: We are experiencing high levels of network congestion in the eastern USA, affecting multiple services in Google Cloud, G Suite and YouTube. Users may see slow performance or intermittent errors. We believe we have identified the root cause of the congestion and expect to return to normal service shortly.
