That's a lot of website that are now down... I find it impressive how terrible bigger services that are supposedly "redundant" are at reliability because of all the added complexity.
- tracker1 2y agoIt happens... It's happened with S3, other AWS, Azure, GCP, and a number of other systems over the years. Seems to happen a couple times a year between them all. That said, on self-hosting I've had outages that were self-inflicted more often than with cloud pipelines and CI/CD flows to production... in the end, it's probably a wash or favors cloud all the same. Even if it's more generally felt from cloud providers all at once.
- lxgr 2y agoIt’s just incentives: Only your site is down, for the first time this year? You must suck at reliability! Your site is down for the third time this year because of a Cloudflare or AWS outage, together with hundreds of others? Force majeure, can’t be helped.
