apologies to substack...
i dint know : aws was down...
a great reminder : of how kewl : cloud is...
for peeps who preach the gospel of 'blast radius of a failure'..
this was some 'epic'..
makes u wonder : how 'smart' - cloud really is.
further thoughts...
to me : existence of cloud farms : is itself a single point of failure..
...for true 'distributed' experience...
maybe it always would make sense to use cloud as 'backup' ...
with some new architecture : with in house infra : running bulk of compute/services..
