Databases, stateful part of services, have matured to have multi-region support. This isn't new either. Nobody's saying that its easy to have multi-region redundancy for stateful services. Its just something you need to have to prevent nasty single region outages affect your service. This is an excellent example where it would have been better to have degraded performance (higher latency) instead of complete unavailability and interruption in business.

- X3AY7yZfpyWCmf 5y agoI don't think it's correct to call Amazon a "medium company" and last time I checked they make more than 50mil
- ImPostingOnHN 5y agoI don't think the parent's "our company" is Amazon, because Amazon does indeed make more than $50m, but I can attest to cloud provider multi region replication being extremely expensive for us (also not Amazon), if only due to data transfer costs
