I can't tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing though! Imagine the clout of saying : "we stayed online while AWS died"

- dghlsakjg 4y agoDepends on how technical your customer base is. Even as a developer I would tend not to ascribe too much signal to that message. All it tells me is that you don't use AWS. "We stayed online when GCP, AWS, and Azure go down" is a different story. On the other hand, if those three go down simultaneously, I suspect the state of the world will be such that I'm not worried about the internet.
- lanstin 4y agoI would expect there are BGP issues that could do that, at least for large swaths of the internet.

On the other hand, if those three go down simultaneously, I suspect the state of the world will be such that I'm not worried about the internet. If nothing else, with those three all down, so will most news sources be -- so even if you're up, your customers won't get to hear about it.
