#42Nothing should be effected in non- USEast regions as per the status page

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?
Any knowledge or evidence that IMDB runs on AWS, and that the two are thus correlated?
For starters, Amazon owns IMDb.

Garbage you say? Dynamodb blazed a trail for many open source, eventually consistent kv databases. Certainly not garbage.
The only thing DynamoDB can do good is simplicity. Except for this, even MongoDB has tons more features than DynamoDB and the new version resolved performance problems existed in the previous versions.
Apples and oranges. People who call tools like this garbage fail to evaluate trade-offs at their required complexity space. Distributed systems have extreme trade-offs. More features => more bugs.

Well, Amazon owns IMDB, so it's probably a reasonable assumption.

#48Amazon CTO: We designed DynamoDB to operate with at least 99.999% availability :D
I've been using DynamoDB since it was released. In over 3 and 1/2 years of use, this is the first time I've experienced DynamoDB being down.

#49Whoever uses autoscaling and, especially lifecycle notification with SQS will be in trouble now(I'am).
The morning is going to be started. Traffic will be ramped up, and not sure if new sevrers will be launched because CloudWatch is failed. Polling SQS to find lifecycle notification message fail too.

#50This 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.
I don't much use it anymore but this is something I always liked about AppEngine: baked into the pricing is automatic replication over three regions.
Serious AWS web apps are also distributed across multiple regions/availability zones, but many companies don't do that. It would be good for hosting services like Heroku, which I use, would replicate across zones also.
To be fare to Amazon, they tell you you architect and built across availability zones.
