#132One of my heroku apps is down, and I cant' log into the heroku dashboard to check it out. I'm guessing this is related.
Me too. This couldn't have come at a worse time. Just launched a new site.
Re: Ask HN: Is S3 down?
#133yes, confirmed.
Re: Ask HN: Is S3 down?
#134what's truly incredible is that S3 has been offline for h̶a̶l̶f̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶h̶o̶u̶r̶ two hours now and Amazon still has the audacity to put five shiny green checkmarks next to S3 on their service page.
they just now put up a box at the top saying "We are investigating increased error rates for Amazon S3 requests in the US-EAST-1 Region."
increased error rates? really?
Amazon, everything is on fire. you are not fooling anyone

#135A piece of hard-earned advice: us-east-1 is the worst place to set up AWS services. You're signing up for the oldest hardware and the most frequent outages. For legacy customers, it's hard to move regions, but in general, if you have the chance to choose a region other than us-east-1, do that. I had the chance to transition to us-west-2 about 18 months ago and in that time, there have been at least three us-east-1 ou…
I'm getting the same outage in us-west-2 right now.
Re: Ask HN: Is S3 down?
#136Same here. We are seeing issues.
Re: Ask HN: Is S3 down?
#137This seems like an appropriate time as any... Anyone want to list some competitors to S3? Bonus if it also provides a way to host a static website.
GitLab Pages [0] is pretty good for static websites IMO, you can use GitLab CI to build more complex sites as well [1].

That's a really good point!

#139Down in US-East-1 as of 17:40 GMT. Amazon SES also down in US-East-1 as of a few minutes later. Hearing reports of EBS down as well.
EBS is down for 30% of my servers as well

#140Incredible how much stuff this affected for me. Opbeat is not loading and I can't even deploy because CircleCI seems to depend on S3 for something and my build is "Queued". This seems so dangerous...
Hi, Beni from Opbeat here. Our community site is indeed down unfortunately, but the rest should be unaffected. Where do/did you experience issues?
Hi Beni! My dashboard wasn't loading (the JS assets from cloudfront.net seemed to be throwing an access-control-origin error) but it is now working again. Very slow, but it works. Fortunately nothing critical is happening right now so no worries. Love your service :)
