Does anyone else find it strange that two Heroku posts made the frontpage considerably (in relative terms, obviously) earlier than "EC2 down"? I would think EC2 is a more common denominator for people, but maybe other hosts have better redundancy and thus there wasn't an immediate awareness?
Or am I just overly curious and it's really just that some Heroku clients happened to notice before an at-large EC2 customer?
edit: I don't mean to imply a conspiracy of some sort, upon a reread. I merely am curious if there are just that many Heroku users in particular on HN or somesuch?
- res0nat0r 14y agoIt is probably because of the large Heroku outage and post here just the other day, and people are trying to point out that they are down again as that is more dramatic than a normal AWS disruption.
- malachismith 14y agoa PaaS like Heroku ends up being "front line support" for AWS. if you use Heroku and your apps fail, you don't care if it is Amazon's fault - you blame Heroku
