Reports on Google's App Status dashboard show the disruption lasted for about 90 minutes before the company was able to restore normal service levels.

Last September, for instance, Amazon Web Services, which is regarded as having one of the best cloud service uptimes in the industry, experienced problems with its DynamoDB database service. The disruption lasted for 5 hours and seriously affected services at Netflix, Viber, Reddit and multiple other sites.

Azure customers had to suffer through nearly 36 hours of intermittent service before Microsoft was able to address the issue.

You cannot expect any service to have a 100% uptime. Remember that next time you complain about a 5 minute outage or busy service.
