It is sort of depressing how concentrated or centralized the internet has gotten.
It seems odd that it’s all on one aws server cluster. Wouldn’t they all automatically activate their backup server on another instance?
cross-region failovers are a thing, but they’re expensive to maintain so not everyone does it. I am kinda surprised one region failure had this much impact though
it’s us-east-1 that’s down, which is the one region with all the AWS services that aren’t easy to replicate, like DynamoDB, a major database service used by so so many companies out there. Its an all eggs in one basket kind of scenario. If it was any other region, we’d be fine.
Onlyfans is also affected
Signal is down too.
Works (again?) for me.
Confirmed. Should be back up now
I like how Fortnite is part of this.
