I'm somewhat in the same situation. I want to check-in a movie I just watched and give it appropriate rating, but IMDB is down. I guess we'll just have wait, right?

Any knowledge or evidence that IMDB runs on AWS, and that the two are thus correlated?

Quick lookup says yes, # host imdb.com imdb.com has address 207.171.166.22 imdb.com has address 72.21.210.29 imdb.com has address 72.21.206.80 # host 207.171.166.22 22.166.171.207.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 166-22.amazon.com.

Le sigh. This is impacting AirBnB and I need to check in somewhere in LA later today. Good thing all the details are in the AirBnB messaging history with the host. Time for them to just go back to email.

Doesn't AirBNB also send an email copy of correspondence? I've always received emails (and text) when a host contacts me.

I would highly recommend http://www.datomic.com as a database for multiple reasons, but one of them is that fact that it's totally portable between DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc. You can create a Datomic backup from any of these databases and restore them into a different one with the exact same semantics.

Isn't datomic closed source?

That's what it looks like. And after 10 seconds of reading I couldn't tell what it actually does.

that's completely untrue. there are many ways to do fault-tolerance in AWS. it's expensive, but it's possible. netflix even goes as far as simulating the failure of entire aws regions in their simian army testing suite: http://techblog.netflix.com/2011/07/netflix-simian-army.html That's why Netflix stays up when us-east or us-west are down.

Netflix is down.

Works fine for me
