Within the last two weeks, my team and I have noticed many service degredations / outages on CircleCI, mainly related to provisioning VMs at the start of a job.
This grinds our continuous deployment o a halt - luckily we can run all of our build/test/deploy programs locally, but it is a frustrating issue for the development team.
Is there any insight or support that can be shared for dealing with this? I’m curious to see what’s going on because I think the last few service degradation have all been related to this one issue. I love using CircleCI as a product; I’m hoping we get some clarity and this get’s resolved soon.
If this is a major concern for you, perhaps you can create a little script to parse https://status.circleci.com/ and start your job only if everything is green? ( I am sure Circleci is already working hard every day to fix issues. )
Or, you can use Gmail API to parse your Gmail inbox to see if there are new CircleCI outage emails assuming CircleCI email notification is working consistently.
