Does HttpService ever go down?

Roblox data stores do not go down frequently, but it does go down.
My questions are:

  • Does HttpService ever go down?
    ( from Roblox side, not the API/site it’s trying to connect to )
  • And what’s the chance of them both going down at the same time?

I have a hunch that HttpService never fails from Roblox’s side, because why would it fail and the server is online?

Please excuse my English.

Yeah I don’t see how that would happen, as HttpService is not a cloud service, but rather an api to reach http endpoints. So unless Roblox breaks HttpService, or the server loses connection (if that happens, then you have bigger troubles), I do not see that happening

I thought the same too, but wanted to make sure and see what everyone thinks.

My usage is to see if the data store failed to save an important value (player purchase, for example) and save it to a temporary database using HttpService until Roblox DataStore is back online.

I’m pretty sure if HttpServices go down, Roblox goes down as a whole due to the servers going offline/crashing.
