I try not to put all my eggs in one basket, that's why for images I use imgur. They have a great API and it's 100% free. There is a handy ruby gem [1] which takes a user uploaded image and sticks it on imgur and returns its URL with dimensions etc. On top of that you don't have to pay for traffic to those assets.

Yup, same here. It has been a few minutes already. Wanna bet the green checkmark[1] will stay green until the incident is resolved? [1] https://status.aws.amazon.com/
It's crazy how much better the communication (including updates and status pages) is of the companies that rely on AWS than AWS' communication itself. https://status.heroku.com/incidents/1059
But wait. Isn't S3 "the cloud". Everyone promised the cloud would never go down, ever. It has infinite uptime and reliability. Well good thing I have my backups on [some service that happens to also use S3 as a backend].
I know your comment is in jest, but Amazon do say their API SLA for S3 is 99.99% available [1] [1] https://aws.amazon.com/s3/sla/

imgur doesn't use S3 behind the scenes?
