DynamoDB is literally a garbage. That's why Amazon does not provide any SLA for the service... Even cheap Azure Storage provides cross-region failover.
Garbage you say? Dynamodb blazed a trail for many open source, eventually consistent kv databases. Certainly not garbage.
This seems like another reason to not rely on Amazon-specific services, other than the obvious vendor lock-in. At least in the event of an instance outage you could conceivably migrate off Amazon to another VPS provider. No one using DynamoDB has an alternative.
DynamoDB now support cross-region replication [0] so you can build more resilient applications with it [0] http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developergu...
"The replica tables are intended to serve as read-only copies of the data; however, it is possible to write data to a replica table. If you write data to a replica, those changes will not be propagated to the master, or to any other replicas."

The main issue appears to be DynamoDB Here's a copy from the status page. 3:00 AM PDT We are investigating increased error rates for API requests in the US-EAST-1 Region. 3:26 AM PDT We are continuing to see increased error rates for all API calls in DynamoDB in US-East-1. We are actively working on resolving the issue. 4:05 AM PDT We have identified the source of the issue. We are working on the recovery. 4:41 AM PD…
7:12 AM PDT We continue to work on removing throttles and restoring API availability but are proceeding cautiously.
7:22 AM PDT We are continuing to remove throttles and enable traffic progressively.
7:40 AM PDT We continue to remove throttles and are starting to see recovery.
7:50 AM PDT We continue to see recovery of read and write operations and continue to work on restoring all other operations.
8:16 AM PDT We are seeing significant recovery of read and write operations and continue to work on restoring all other operations.
Le sigh. This is impacting AirBnB and I need to check in somewhere in LA later today. Good thing all the details are in the AirBnB messaging history with the host. Time for them to just go back to email.
I hate the fact that most people(including me apparently) still assume AWS is not in their "downtime" equation. Just spend the last 30min troubleshooting SMTP auth problem. Not funny when its Sunday.

I'm somewhat in the same situation. I want to check-in a movie I just watched and give it appropriate rating, but IMDB is down. I guess we'll just have wait, right?
