Amazon is having problems, it's impacting Heroku and many others.

Like Reddit.

NewRelic is also having trouble: http://rpmstatus.newrelic.com/2011/02/17/having-trouble-with...

Not sure if these things are related.

Hosted with AWS? Who is having problems in the northeast.

I had a few outages with 2 AWS EC2 instances, (one small, one micro) both in eastern zones today.

Okay, geolookup on Heroku's proxy IP says seattle, but EC2 doesn't have a region there! Is Heroku running their own data center there? Curious...

proxy.heroku.com -> 75.101.145.87

NetRange: 75.101.128.0 - 75.101.255.255 CIDR: 75.101.128.0/17 OriginAS: NetName: AMAZON-EC2-4

I removed New Relic temporarily and redeployed, and Heroku is working for one of my sites now (also not working for another site though).

That's interesting. Installing New Relic makes your site dependent on New Relic's availability? That's kinda scary...

Of course its also possible that you just got lucky and Heroku came back up for you when you redeployed. Could be a coincidence.

We had the same issue at the Seesmic Web launch 2 years ago and uninstalling new relic fixed the issue.

But the guys at New Relic helped us and fixed the issue, according to them it should not happen anymore.

The New Relic agent should never have an affect on whether or not your application runs. If you think this is happening, please email us at support@newrelic.com so we can help figure out what is going on.

I saw this blip as well. Spreedly was telling me it couldn't talk to my server for around 17 minutes. 8:04pm-8:21pm PST

Supposedly fixed now (see OP).
