PHP Fog upgraded 4500+ sites for free after AWS outage
- jvoorhis 15y agoHi. I work for PHP Fog, a PHP-focused platform as a service. We were one of the many companies to experience some turbulence during the recent AWS outage, and we wanted to share how we are working to make things better.
- throwaway32 15y agoits nice to see a company take initiative/responsibility for making things right, rather than just pointing fingers.
- liuliu 15y agoFrom what I understand, the last AWS outage consisted of several Available Zone failures simultaneously. Thus, implementing multi-AZ fail-over won't help during the outage last time. But still, it is a step forward. Congrats!
- pablasso 15y agoI gave a look at their service, but ultimately left scared by their security breach: http://blog.phpfog.com/2011/03/22/how-we-got-owned-by-a-few-teenagers-and-why-it-will-never-happen-again http://blog.phpfog.com/2011/03/22/how-we-got-owned-by-a-few-... I don't know what it is, but they just don't inspire the same confidence as Heroku or Dotcloud.
