Error code: 502-loadbalancer

Anyone else seeing this?

Yep, confirming a 502 for my pythonanywhere.com subdomain. As before, the apps running on own domain seem fine...

Seems to be back to normal now.

Sorry about that. We're having issues with a particular one of the web servers in our cluster right now. We're trying to work out what the cause is -- maybe it's a hardware issue on the specific instance on Amazon, or it could be something on our side. We've just stopped and started the AWS instance, which should migrate it to different hardware, so hopefully that will help us narrow down the cause to one of those.

On the plus side, our new alerting system did tell us about this outage very soon after it happened... which meant that we were paged and were able to respond in minutes rather than only discovering the problem later on.
