Well, at least our decision to split services has paid off. All of our web app infrastructure is on AWS, which is currently down, but our status page [0] is on Digital Ocean, so at least our customers can go see that we are down!
A pyrrhic victory... ;)
[0] - http://status.hrpartner.io http://status.hrpartner.io
EDIT UPDATE: Well, I spoke too soon - even our status page is down now, but not sure if that is linked to the AWS issues, or simply the HN "hug of death" from this post! :)
EDIT UPDATE 2: Aaaaand, back up again. I think it just got a little hammered from HN traffic.

- crack-the-code 10y agoPlot twist: Digital Ocean is secretly hosted on AWS
- neom 10y agoshhhhhhhhhhh!!!
- cyberferret 10y agoLOL...I just got notice that our status server is down now too! Maybe DO is just a rebranded offshoot of AWS after all... :D
- AtheistOfFail 10y agoCould be worse, your entire infrastructure could be hosted on Heroku. You don't use S3 but because they do, your entire infrastructure crumbles.
- lambdasquirrel 10y agoI don't see why this is being downvoted. It's a pretty legitimate concern.
- 0xCMP 10y agoesp since my side project on heroku which uses nothing is down because of this.
- bananabill 10y agoI didn't realize Heroku used s3 until today, when my heroku app failed. Makes me wonder why I'm using heroku instead of just aws.
- AtheistOfFail 10y agoHeroku is a rewrap of AWS for simplicity.
- sachinag 10y agoSkyliner is an option if you're doing real production stuff.
- ddollar 10y agoIf you're looking for the simplicity of Heroku but want to run on raw AWS check out Convox. It's open source and free to try. https://convox.com https://convox.com Disclosure: I'm one of the cofounders
- eddieroger 10y agoYou're paying Heroku to not have to think about deployment or scale, which is also why their marketplace is successful - who wants to think about managing a database, when two clicks and a few environment variables later you can have one. Heroku is great for devs who don't want to think about ops and can afford to throw money at the problem (it gets really expensive really fast).
- ExactoKnight 10y agoThe biggest change heroku needs to make is support different regions.
- jariz 10y agoWhen even the status page is down, panic.
