Nothing make me smile more than watching this thing go down in a ball of flames.

HealthCare.gov experienced an outage of about 90 minutes this afternoon, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Director of Communications Julie Bataille said during the agency’s daily news briefing.

While the application and enrollment functions were not available, the data services hub was online during that time, Bataille said. The outage wasn’t related to similar outages last week, when a Verizon Terremark data center went offline twice, she said.

“At this time, the teams are still investigating the exact root cause of the outage,” said Andy Slavitt of QSSI, the company now working as lead contractor on the project. Slavitt cited an overload on a “small number” of servers and a load-balancing program.
