Should we not rely on one service to support everything?

    More likely their hamfisted return to work layoff scheme has caused them to bleed experienced staff. The only people left are less experienced and give less of a shit. It took them over an hour to realize the database of their DNS system was the issue.

      I asked a buddy that works at Amazon about the outage and he pointed me to this article.

      https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/20/aws_outage_amazon_brain_drain_corey_quinn/

      I know quite a few people who currently work there and pretty much all of them are trying to leave.
