I don't like how Shopify deletes events from https://www.shopifystatus.com/ shortly after they are resolved. Outages have to be inferred by waking up to a bunch of alerts and hoping someone else posted about it on the internet.

I started scraping the Shopify status page every 5 minutes back in March of 2015 so I have more than 11 years of history.

This isn't the first outage and won't be the last but it's one of the most disruptive in recent memory.

You should publish that as a new page. It would be good to have that history.

X has always been a better source of outages than any official status site. It's either early, before there's anything official posted, or it's something the vendor doesn't consider worthy of an outage because it only affects a particular subset of customers.
