A former colleague told me years ago that us-east-1 is basically the guinea pig where changes get tested before being rolled out to the other regions, and as a result is less stable than the others. Does anyone know if there's any truth to this?
- arpinum 5y agoThis is not true. Lambda updates us-east-1 last.
- wizwit999 5y agofalse, it's often 4th iirc, SFO (us-west-1) is actually usually first.
- treesknees 5y agoI can't see why they'd use the most common/popular region as a guinea pig.
- Kye 5y agoProblem: you've gone as far as you can go testing internally or with test groups. You know there are edge cases you'll only identify by having enough people test it. Solution: push it to production on the zone with the most users and see what breaks.
- sharpy 5y agoThe guideline has been to deploy to it last. If the team follows pipeline best practices, they are supposed to deploy to a single small region first, wait 24 hours, and then deploy to more, wait more, and deploy to more, until finally deploying to us-east-1.
