Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has released an expression of remorse over almost six-hour blackout on Monday that kept the organization’s 3.5 billion clients from getting to its web-based media and informing administrations like WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger.
“Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger are returning internet based at this point. Sorry for the interruption today – I know the amount you depend on our administrations to remain associated with individuals you care about,” Zuckerberg said on Facebook.

Yesterday (Monday, 4th October 2021), Facebook CEO saw outages which took services including Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp offline. At Haystack, we took a look at our data to see what impact this had on developer throughput (number of Pull Requests merged).
We calculated a baseline based on the averages of the three previous Monday’s prior to the outage and compared this to our baseline. For the entire day, we saw 32% higher developer throughput.
Timeline
According to DownDetector, the Facebook outage started at 15:24 UTC. At 22:46 UTC, Facebook’s CTO tweeted that services were coming back online but “may take some time to get to 100%”. The incident was largely resolved around midnight.
Throughout the day, Haystack saw that developer throughput continued to follow the baseline. This changed significantly after 21:00 UTC.
Whilst it’s typical for us to see an increase in throughput at this time on Mondays, the growth was far more substantial than usual. Between 21:00 UTC and midnight, we saw roughly a 2.6x increase in the number of Pull Requests being merged. For context, midnight UTC aligns with 17:00 Pacific time (where many Haystack customers are located).
Causes
Whilst developer throughput went up, we saw that the lead time (time from first commit to PR merged) increased dramatically for these Pull Requests.
This indicates that the real reason for this increase is more that developers utilised the extra time at the end of their day to do some housekeeping of old Pull Requests, closing off old long-running Pull Requests.
Indeed, Haystack as a product offers development teams alerts about long-running Pull Requests (such as those already reviewed and waiting for merge). Rather than seeing any dramatic increase in programming productivity, we saw developers taking care of their housekeeping.
As Kan, our CTO, explained to me this morning: “Facebook going down made developers clean their backyard”.
