Could this be a reason why Heroku is misbehaving? https://status.heroku.com/incidents/792K

I can't help but be a little surprised that Heroku's entire build system is disabled by an S3 failure in one region. Now I'm unable to add a notice about the issues to my site's HTML...

It's two hours. Luckily it happenned around 12:00AM otherwise we are having a bad day. Whomever being a DevOps or SysAdmin probably cannot sleep tonight :(. In our case, we put Fastly on top of our assets/images so that only a partil of request get errors. The cached object on Fastly is still fine.

Actually on some parts of the world it's not 12:00AM you know, and there are sysadmins/devops there too :-)

11:40am: Currently can't push to Heroku :(

Our European customers are not amused.

  and have taken multiple steps to reduce latencies and error
  rates for Amazon S3 in US-STANDARD. Customers may continue 
  to experience elevated latencies and error rates as we 
  proceed through our recovery plan.

True. Given the business Heroku is in, they should have redundancies in multiple regions if not multiple service providers.
