Half the startup world is offline right now, yet the AWS status page is all greens with one "info" notice about EBS (which I doubt is the issue here). I'm glad to have moved off a fully AWS stack back to my own servers over a year ago. My uptime, bills, and stress level are all much improved.
- michaelfairley 14y agoDefinitely an EBS issue. Our (EBS backed, Heroku hosted) DB was returning queries more and more slowly leading up to the outage.
- res0nat0r 14y agoSounds like half of the startup world hasn't spent the time or the money to design their service to be redundant on top of AWS.
- zeeg 14y agoFortunately for most, they dont have customers yet
- reddit_clone 14y agoThat made me laugh. Am I a bad person?
- fusiongyro 14y agoThat's hardly surprising. The groupthink on cloud services is that they magically make everything scalable, cheap and easy. Making redundant software is hard work.
- rhizome 14y agoThe sales pitch is kind of that it's already redundant. You know, RAID and load balancers and all.
