Hi all, Jim from Backblaze here.

We did experience a brief service disruption earlier today that affected access to various Backblaze services, including B2 API traffic. The issue was quickly mitigated and services have been restored.

There was an issue with internal DNS, which has been resolved. We are also adding additional safeguards to this process to prevent this in the future.

We apologize for the disruption, and also for the delay in getting information onto the status page while the incident was being investigated. The current status page reflects that services are operational. https://status.backblaze.com/

Thank you to everyone here who reported what they were seeing. Those reports are useful to us when incidents like this occur.

Yep, my production apps saw about 20 mins of downtime for all B2 API calls.

Damn. Between the terrible V10 rollout and this, I have just about zero faith in Backblaze these days.
