This is that moment you realize you need backup servers running a nightly stable build to revert customers to in case issues occur. 😃

What I did is tell everyone I’m updating the database and made a real quick google sheet that displayed the info needed currently to allow them to continue to work.

Uzo, I understand your frustration, I can’t argue that to be honest. The best I can suggest is to think of something simple they may want as part of the app and implement it. You can allow customers to take pictures so the employees can see their face or vice versa with employees who prepare the orders so their customers can put a name with a face.

We love Glide too. Our organization has +150 users and multiple apps.

Over the more than 1.5 years, we have encountered total outages like this only twice, now this go. To put a little context - the first two times we were out for under 30-40 minutes. Both time, as I am sure will be the case now, the Glide team demonstrated excellent communication and attention to our concerns. Once restored everything was as it should be.

I know this can be frustrating, especially with paying customers. All I’m saying is that things happen. If I recall google was down globally for about 3 hours not to long ago. I think reaching out to your clients ASAP and being as upfront as possible might get you further than you think.

I agree. I took a screenshot of Glide’s uptime as shown on the status page and sent it along with my resolution message, reassuring them that this is an unusual situation and that it was not a problem with their particular app but a widespread outage.
