Error: could not handle the request

they using my apps to get orders from customers… my offering will have to cover lots of money!

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.

i dont know… I love Glide, but is not reliable to charge money from my customers for using this platform, i hope they will fix it fast

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.

Please continue to report issues if you continue to have them. A full refresh may be required in some cases. Further there will likely be a blip later tonight, we will time it for off peak hours when we switch off the temporary infrastructure.

If you are experiencing any issues, please first try restarting the app and the builder. If this doesn’t work, I recommend you to contact the glide support team in the Glide Outage | Tracking thread topic for more help. BEFORE mailing the support team

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 think that it’s just a matter of time (as of know and based on what’s mentioned above)

Now I’m getting 502 Bad Gateway error.

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.
