I just launched a site on Heroku yesterday and cranked up the dynos up in anticipation of some "launch" traffic. Now, I can't log in to switch them off. Thanks EC2, you owe me $$$s

Ok, it's a bomb scare and the building's shutdown for 12 hours. How I was supposed to get ' "relying", as in "depending on the cloud without any alternative backup" ' from what your originally wrote, I don't know.
I'm sorry if you didn't understand "relying" as I meant it. I'm not a native speaker, so my assumption of the meaning of "relying" may have been wrong. I'll try to elaborate: yes, there are of course certain things that you cannot avoid. That's why I meant you should not "rely"/"depend on the cloud without any alternative backup" on the cloud being available. Redundancy, if your service is crucial! If you're a small…
You raise perfectly valid and interesting points. It's just a shame they're not the parent comment because then they would have invoked some thoughtful discussion.

Thankfully, no. :) But yeah, right now we're shutting everything down to try and avoid possible data corruption. Once they restore service, hopefully we'll be able to come back quickly.
SHUT. DOWN. EVERYTHING. Good plan though. :p

It's really mostly EBS failures, so the title is overly dramatic. And EBS has been known to have issues.
We're also seeing connectivity issues with our elastic load balancers.
4/21/2011 is "Judgement Day" when Skynet becomes self aware and tries to kill us all. http://terminator.wikia.com/wiki/2011/04/21 I am just a little freaked out right now.
Don't worry. If skynet is in EC2, we'll be fine.
Amazon have stated many times that amazon.com itself runs mostly on AWS platform, but it works fine now ...
Current status: bad things are happening in the North Virginia datacenter. EC2, EBS and RDS are all down on US-east-1. Edit: Heroku, Foursquare, Quora and Reddit are all experiencing subsequent issues.

Isn't that a design flaw in Heroku? Shouldn't you be able to log into Heroku and change stuff like that even if the entire of Amazons cloud service is down?

You said 6 words in your original post. And now you're trying to suggest I was to get the above 166 words from the original 6? You raise perfectly valid and interesting points. It's just a shame they're not the parent comment because then they would have invoked some thoughtful discussion.
