blob upload failing with error code 503 -- servivce unavailable

[James Gilliam]

Blob upload is failing with 503 (service unavailable) ... see attached

[jared....@mokimobility.com]

Also seeing this error still.

Is there a way to view blobstore outages in the app engine status?

[alex]

Is there an issue on the public tracker? I'd star it too.

Jared,

I have again verified that the problem that occurred yesterday with blob uploads is not happening.

The problem yesterday was a 503 error when sending a POST request to /_ah/upload/. You may want to run an HTTP trace to verify that you are seeing the same thing.

The status site does not monitor blob uploads.

I agree ... the problem was fixed around 3pm yesterday as far as I know.  It kind of freaked us out ... one of the biggest outages we have ever seen with GAE, about 5 hours I think.

Thanks so much

1) Is there any way application code can trap this error for graceful user reporting?

2) Is there any way for application code to determine if service is available before attempting use?

3) If yes in #1 or #2, how would I test my new code?

Thanks

There's Capabilities service API but I'm not sure it would've helped
in this specific case:

You can catch the error if you upload the file via AJAX. You can check 503 error when uploading.

If you have a dream we can write the code

[DocDay]

That sounds like a nice pattern. Thanks!

I just had this problem again a few minutes ago.

There is also the 500 version of this, that one is accepted with many replies

tldr, it's a known issue, has been around for very long, not fixed
