somehow they managed to build complex systems like gmail, continuously develop new features there and not have massive outages due to "migrations" - suggests that something that they were doing right, they are no longer able to do

there were more than two recent incidents lately:

- YouTube outage this November 2020

- August 2020 outage of Google Suite including Gmail

in both cases no postmortems were published

Two events in a single day.
