Since I got back from lunch (about ten minutes, so maybe earlier) hexdocs has been down, giving the error of:
Error 503 Connection timed out
Connection timed out
Guru Mediation:

Varnish cache server
So, what is up, other than not the website? ^.^

Amazon S3 and various other Amazon services are shot to hell. Expect outages in consumer sites as well as dev tools such as Github, CodeShip, etc.
Should’ve used Elixir and the BEAM VM hahaha!

LOL , i agree

Ugh, never had a good experience with AWS. I hosted my own big site a few years ago on my own servers for about $300/month where AWS would have cost multiple tens of thousands of dollars a month. I cannot see why anyone would use them to be honest when it is so easy to spool up a few physical servers in a few areas around the globe and sync them yourself (never a second of down-time yet on mine!).
Seems odd that such ‘static’ stuff like file hosting and docs are hosted via AWS as well, from what I saw of their prices it seemed crazy stupid high… o.O

@OvermindDL1: From AWS Services Health Dashboard I see that problems are only in North America (N. Virginia). Maybe NSA employee run bad exploit?

What you use now as your usual VPS?

For my littlier sites I have some old Dreamhost VPS sites (though unsure if I’d choose them now), my big sites are hosted with OVH physical hardware (not VPS).

For a lot of companies they’d spend much more on people managing the servers than the servers themselves.

.. and still not have the flexibility and manageability that AWS offers.
The startup I’m working at now couldn’t afford not to use AWS or
an equivalent service.

Such as? I’ve not seen something that AWS can do that I cannot very easily do myself…
/me is legitimately curious as he’s not found an actual use-case for AWS yet that is not exploding in price compared to what he can do manually…
