When it comes to assuring great digital experiences for your users, intermittent issues can be incredibly difficult to discover and diagnose because the service is both working and not working simultaneously—or, it may simply be running slow. Some users may experience issues, while for others, everything will work just fine.

In this week’s episode, The Internet Report team will explore the complexities that intermittent issues can bring by examining two recent incidents at Meta and Salesforce. 

They’ll also cover an automation bug at Google Cloud that caused problems for a range of customers, as well as recent Internet outage trends.
