Ask HN: Are you also experiencing issues with Azure Redis in Western Europe?

Hacker News - Tue, 06/09/2026 - 9:37am

Context: we've been using Azure Cache for Redis for about two years now. We have constant health checks that require a successful ping on redis. Normally, we might have a small connection issue every 2-3 days well outside office hours, not much else.

Over the last two days (June 8 and June 9) we have seen constant network issues between our runtimes (Hetzner, Western Europe) and Azure Redis. I cannot discard it being something on our end. But it is highly suspicious that we have Redis issues while we have minimal to no network issues with Azure Postgres, which is in the same zone as Azure Redis.

We see no issues reported by Azure, but that's not much of a reassurance. We've experienced Azure outages in the past (for example, sending of emails) that never had an official mention in any public status page.

If you're also experiencing network issues with Azure services in Western Europe, it'd be great to know we're not the only ones.

Show HN: HN Debrief – A daily digest of the best HN comment threads

Hacker News - Tue, 06/09/2026 - 9:34am

I read HN every day but kept hitting the same issue: the most valuable stuff usually isn't in the linked article, it's buried in the comments. The engineering manager explaining what actually happened internally before the layoffs. The trader explaining why "energy independence" is a myth. The defense analyst who knows why the stockpiles are empty. That signal is there every day, scattered across thousands of comments in 30 front-page posts, and I never had time to dig through all of it.

So I built HN Debrief (https://hndebrief.com) to solve my problem. At the end of each day (UTC) it: - fetches the previous day's front page - picks the threads that generated a discussion worth reading and tries to surface comments (or group of comments) with the most insight - finds comments that cut against the threads majority opinion as a balance lever - pulls out the links people shared into a reference section and summarizes the rest Every insight is attributed to its author with a link back to the original comment

Feedback I'd especially value: thread and comment selection (am I picking the right discussions and comments?) and whether the "against the grain" comments are actually insightful or just contrarian. There's a daily email also if you want it.

Show HN: Bitemap – See where everyone would bite a sandwich

Hacker News - Tue, 06/09/2026 - 9:29am

I know the internet likes to celebrate perfect bites and debate where to take the next bite of half-finished sandwiches. So I built Bitemap. You see a photo of a sandwich, you tap where you'd take your next bite, and it shows a heatmap of where everyone else bit.

It's early. Most of the sandwiches are ones I uploaded to seed it and the maps are still filling in, so some are thin. You can add your own too.

No signup, nothing to install. Curious what you think, and where you'd bite. Happy to answer anything about how it's built.
