This basically is just a an application with steps that are checkpointed when they progress in a shared database (that's abstracted away from you). It's considerably simpler, less …

While there appears to be some us-east-1 SPoF for Route 53 updates (as shown recently), the actual health checks themselves occur in up to 8 different regions [1] with an 18%[2] ag…

us-east-1 is unimaginably large. The last public info I saw said it had 159 datacenters. I wouldn't be surprised if many millions of accounts are primarily located there. While thi…
