This annoyed my users and annoyed me. I serve my website and the Help section of my iPhone app from AppEngine.
It's also worth pointing out that the outage was preceded by horrible performance issues, and I wonder why they didn't take a cue and prevent an all out outage. This mailing list post doesn't even begin to explain what happened, and that peeves me a bit too.
I felt like a stooge telling my users yesterday that this was AppEngine's fault and I couldn't do anything about it. That's always a terrible thing to have to say to a user. I'm thinking about moving this site to EC2 with my other.

Is telling your customer it is Amazon's fault somehow better than blaming Google? http://blog.bitbucket.org/2009/10/04/on-our-extended-downtime-amazon-and-whats-coming/ http://blog.bitbucket.org/2009/10/04/on-our-extended-downtim... Sure that was technically an EBS problem but still the point stands nothing is perfect and as long as you don't own the internet you rely on someone somewhere for something, it can break and the fault to lie with someone else.
