After hearing pagers going off throughout that day, it's reassuring to hear someone on the outside say everything went flawlessly.

I’m curious, how do you prep for things like the Prime Day? I imagine almost all parts of Amazon.com and AWS operate at their limits, especially resource-wise. What precautions do you take?

What's the DevOps duty look like? Anytime you just see a page and root cause it and just tell your higher-up they are SOL

Jeff covered this in the post (GameDays, excessive amounts of auditing, etc.).
Regarding the resource limits you suggest, they mention metrics of 50+ pB of data movement and 3.34 trillion DynamoDB queries in 30 hours, all of which they elastically scale down after the event... so I'd say resource limitations are more in terms of humans on-deck and crisis management, rather than physical limitation of hardware.
(edited to correct size - was 52 pB not 520 pB...)

#7"Prime Day" is a rip-off, and the pricing schemes border on fraudulent. Give yourselves a pat on the back for tricking people into spending money they'd be better off saving.

Not the point of the submission - keeping up with the interest, regardless of the contents, still is interesting and useful to know more about.

Would you applaud a criminal for inventing a novel way to commit a crime?

It seems like most of the documentaries I watch now a days are basically that! They're very interesting and entertaining.
