I remember a time when AWS went down and their status page said everything was fine. I think it had something to do with static content hosted on S3. I wonder if Google is have their moment :)

us-east-1 could literally be wiped off the map by a meteor and the AWS status page would show yellow triangle with "Elevated API error rates" for several days

"It wasn't completely down because we had one rack in AZ A which was not impacted because we launched it to space on a Blue Origin rocket and forgot to remove the us-east-1 label."

Sorry it might be due to my age, but I don't understand this. What's the meaning behind the "Stonks" photo they posted?

I have a 2-hour-long YouTube video still open, it's continuing to load as I continue to watch it without issues, but new videos aren't working. That's an interesting clue: the CDN isn't down as some people are implying. Edit 45 min later: Everything appears to be working again, including YouTube TV.

(googler, opinions are my own. I know nothing about youtube specifically)

Youtube likely has lots of moving parts to host all the different systems. Video content, search, browse, player, etc... could all be different bits. And it's also fun to know that video content itself may not be hosted directly by Google, as you could get it from the GGC (Google Global Cache)[0].

When you have a system as big as Youtube, you need to think about all the different ways you can slice different parts of the service. If any of those parts could be more optimized by having the data stored/sorted in some different way, it likely is.

Look at the charts on downdetector homepage - multiple major sites all got hit by something simultaneously and are all trending back down almost identically.

WTF...???

Huh, weird. I was just able to start a video with youtube-dl + mpv (it took a few tries), but I still can't access anything from the website.
