The Google Cloud Platform blog recently had a rather awkward moment posting about the success of Feedly, emphasis is mine:
In the middle of last year, our servers were overwhelmed with hundreds of thousands of new signups, and we experienced our first service outage. The first thing we did was move all of our static content to App Engine. Within an hour we were up and running again with 10 times the capacity we had before. This turned out to be a good thing – we added millions more users over the next few months and more than doubled in size.
I seem to recall Google telling millions of users to pack up their stuff and leave around the middle of last year. Feels strange to see Google excited to brag about their ability to send millions of users to a competitor. At least they used to be competitors, before Google decided to get out of the reader space.
