Touché -- That said, we don&#x27;t have pinggom tied to SMS, just email. =) Pingom is just an external tool for us to graph uptime from other parts of the world.<p>If we&#x27;re down there is plenty of other alerting to notify us (mostly through Slack). That said, there isn&#x27;t much we can do other than wait for Google to fix it.<p>It is part of the trade off that we have to consider, I&#x27;m paying Google for devops instead of paying a team to do it for me. If you&#x27;ve ever had to hire a 24&#x2F;7 support&#x2F;devops staff, it is a much easier hiring proposition to just rely on Google to do that for us.
