#142Its unreal watching key web services fall like dominoes. Its too bad the concept of "too big to fail" applies only to large banks and countries.
"To big [to allow] to fail" is what that term means.
This would extend to a service like amazon actually, where survival of the service would be an extraordinary effort in case this problem lasted for a long time.
The way you imagined it, as 100% uptime, is incorrect.

#143Earlier quoted context omitted.
I would assume, I couldn't even share a screen shot of my evidence to my team on slack!
Lol... It's interesting how much depends on Amazon's infrastructure at the moment.
Also, interesting everyone is posting that various sites which are down in this thread. Feels like the internet is down!

#145Corporate language is entertaining while we all pull out our hair.
"We are investigating increased error rates for Amazon S3" translates to "We are trying to figure out why our mission critical system for half the internet is completely down for most (including some of our biggest) customers."

#146Experiencing issues with Elastic Beanstalk and Cloudfront as well.
Re: Ask HN: Is S3 down?
#147Wow this is a fun one. I almost pooped my pants when I saw all of our elastic beanstalk architecture disappear. It's so relieving to see it's not our fault and the internet feels our pain. We're in this together boys!
I'm curious how much $ this will lose today for the economy. :)
