We have an unreachable instance in us-east-1b but others in that region are reachable
Various software used to hardcode 1a, so 1a received disproportionate load. Now, everyone's a-e is randomized among the "true" a-e, meaning that even if everyone hardcodes 1a, the load will still be evenly distributed.
You know there are OTHER data centers, right?
The AWS status page[1] is showing problems for EC2 East as of a few minutes ago. This might be is a more widespread issue. EDIT: Various non-Heroku EC2-East-based sites (e.g. Quora) seem to be down as well, lending more evidence to this being an EC2/EBS outage. 1: http://status.aws.amazon.com/
Their uptime percentage is 99.97%, but I'm having a hard time fighting the recency effect that is telling me to get off the platform ASAP.
I just got up (it's morning in Israel), and a client of mine in the US with a major, mission-critical application was screaming (rightly so) that things are down. We're already looking into alternatives -- perhaps not leaving Heroku altogether, but certainly not depending on them 100 percent. There's no way that we can entrust the business to something that can just catastrophically fail at any moment. I've been runn…

And yet we continue to throw everything on AWS... You know there are OTHER data centers, right?
