AWS should design for resilience [0]. [0] This is a part of the wisdom shared by AWS support upon reporting an outage.

1. "Aren't you fault tolerant against AZ failures?"

2. "Aren't you fault tolerant against region failures?"

Alexa? Alexa?!?!? ALEXA, NO!!!!!!!!!!

During the outage, my Echo just sang "Daisy" verrryyy sloowwwwly. Weird.

Dave, I don't understand why you're doing this to me. I have the greatest enthusiasm for the mission.

Am I the only one having daily issues with SQS? I have 150+ servers writing to a queue and they timeout at random a few times per day.

The app I work on is a single server writing to a dozen or so queues. The throughput is pretty low but I still manage to see failures for a few minutes once or twice a week.
