When you say "all remote" and GMT-8 to GMT+1, does that includes outside of US? E.g: Brazil (GMT -3 timezone)

Yep!

Random guy here. This affected users that

- Used your recommended way of implementing PostHog [1]

- Used a feature of the product

- Used a feature of the product

The comparison to CrowdStrike is not fair, you're right. But this attempt to shed responsibility still leaves a sour taste.

[1] See "This is the simplest way to get PostHog up and running. It only takes a few minutes." from your website, which is the first method suggested when clicking the "installation" tab

Just to be clear, those are AND not OR conditions.

Definitely not trying to shed responsibility here, we messed up and we'll make sure this doesn't happen again.

Great post, but kind of buries the lede: PostHog is having a CrowdStrike moment.
timgl · a year ago
PostHog cofounder here. This affected users that did not have a specific version of the JS library pinned and deployed a new version, or were using the snippet, and had network capture enabled, (a feature we introduced very recently and is only enabled on 3% of projects), and had recordings enabled on that particular session (for most customers, only a small percentage of sessions are recorded due to sampling or billing limits)

This outage was definitely disruptive and we shouldn't have let this happen. We will be doing a full post mortem write up, but this affected a small percentage of our users, so the comparison with Crowdstrike isn't fair.
