Why do you think, it happens always to Facebook and rarely for Instagram or even Google?
Facebook is DOWN.

Looks like some people are experiencing issues with it. It's fine where I'm at, though.

Depends on the location of the Facebook servers
Maybe they save money on servers in a specific area

I think most of you are losing the real discussion in here. Why does FB usually has more problems than google or Instagram.
Im going to say that Instagram has been dead more frecuently than FB has. I think of course the down time is not global but regional. But on the other hand i cant remember one time that google has been down and i believe this is because google has way more infrastructure than FB has. For example, most of my country relies on one conection to the world that happens to pass through the US, so several times this conection has had problems and all internet goes down but Google Services because they have their own phisical conections to the country to the main servers.

Facebook have major updates going on and a new facebook is being rolled out if you go to your own profile some of you will be able to change it to show all your old posts as a grid. This has come out in same parts of the USA at the moment. Once this is rolled out across the rest of the USA the facebook home page is getting a major upgrade where its going to be clean and tidy and show 3 main things facebook Groups Facebook watch and the news feed. Once this roles out facebook should be in a better place and have less bugs as the last 6 mths have been a nightmare with them

It’s a blessing in disguise but I’m not effected though
Youtube (owned by Google) goes down time to time, but it's not for long and pretty infrequent. I remember Google apps was down for some time last year. Probably the only time I've seen that happen with them.
I don't really remember Facbeook going down (at least not a public outcry about it), but Instagram from my memory tends to have more issues than Facebook. Down detector is actually showing IG has issues right now, but Facebook is up.

Left FB ever since I'm used to Instagram. IG seems really attractive.

Compared to google, Facebook is much more complex and resource intensive than google. Because Google's system is not real time for the most part, it can leverage many performance techniques like caching, whereas Facebook is a web app that needs to store and show changes in real time, manage sessions, etc. Facebook has to store two or three new database rows for ANY action (like a post, view a photo, post a comment, share a post, receive a notification, write a post, etc), multiply it by the hundreds of millions of users that use the site every day, Facebook must be inserting not millions, but BILLIONS of database rows every single hour. And there's not enough time for caching, or choosing the best way to distribute this data. All of these actions need to be shown to the user in real time.
I'm honestly impressed it doesn't break too often.

If google or aws goes down - believe me most of internet suffers
Last time Google cloud went down (when google cloud+cloudflare+aws went down) most of internet wasn't usable... 503/502 everywhere lol
