The Glowfic Constellation

[Marri]

Sorry all! Can't do anything until Amazon is back :(

[Ezra]

At least we're in good company with, like, Netflix.

[Marri]

Netflix is probably multi-region, actually, which gives them fallbacks? The outage is focused on us-east, which has the bad luck to be where we're hosted. I could look into it, but multi-region usually duplicates all your infrastructure costs and I'm not sure the benefit is worth it; this doesn't happen much and I have other things I'd rather spend money on first.

[DanielH]

Netflix has very high redundancy. I’m at work and can’t check but I’d bet they are mostly, or even fully, functional but with some extra latency.

[MaggieoftheOwls]

Okay unless I'm misreading something the S3 thing claims to be functional again but the Constellation still isn't working?

[DanielH]

I was just typing that. Probably Heroku will auto-restart something.

[Marri]

Amazon has come back but Heroku has not. Heroku's status page for this incident is here: https://status.heroku.com/incidents/1059

[Kaylin]

It lives!

[Throne3d]

It does indeed live! As of about XX:52 this hour.

Hugs and thank yous to our wonderful Constellation keepers, thank you for all that you do. I know things especially get rough when stuff goes down and it's not your fault and you can't fix it. So, thank you, for all that you do! We appreciate it a lot and it's absolutely amazing that we have a site so reliably updated.
