This seems to be impacting a number of huge sites, including the UK government website[0].

I wonder why amazon.co.uk uses Fastly and not CloudFront?

I wonder why Amazon is not using Cloudfront for their own website.

Yeah, this is what makes me feel this is more an AWS thing

Fastly deploy their own hardware, (That's one of their selling points) I don't think they rely much on AWS, maybe just for network interconnection?

and yet you're able to leave this comment.

Because HN and those who use less or those who use backup services are smart and those who are caught now have to panic and wait. Probably going to short the hell out of $FSLY.

Over one issue that highlights they have an abundance of top level customers? Interesting strategy when it's already at a low.

I didn't know so many sites were depending on Fastly. Stack Overflow, GitHub, reddit, .... Even pip is unavailable. My development workflow is completely janked up. It is a bit scary that we are putting too many eggs in one basket.

Must... decentralize... internet...

But https://news.ycombinator.com/ is UP! :) Prepare those HN servers for massive influx in 3...2..1..

basically the internet is down reddit, stackoverflow, github, paypal, pypi, twitter, twitch, NYT, CNN, BBC, the Guardian... edit: wow, even Amazon.com relies on Fastly for some of its edge caches!

BBC is still up at least in the UK

Seems to be mixed for me, BBC News and Sport works but stuff like Weather, iPlayer (video streaming) and Sounds (audio streaming) have died. I guess the BBC is big enough that different bits of the site run off different solutions (perhaps news and sport are still in spirit running off "news.bbc.co.uk" instead of the main servers?).
