October 20, 2025AWS being down is concerning because one of their USPs is high availability and disaster recovery
Think about every moment of your life when you _aren't_ aware that AWS is working - effectively always. You only think about this when something goes wrong, which creates a survivor bias in your mind about how this is 'always happening'. Go look up the uptimes of AWS - it's well above 99%. I guarentee you that the alternative - self-hosting - would result in a far higher downtime, with added security issues, maintainance, cost, etc. That stuff only really starts making sense if you're a really large company who is willing to pay for sysops to run all that stuff for you. And even then - what happens if your building looses power? I promise it'll take you longer to get your servers up and running again than it will the largest cloud company in the world, with effectively limitless resources. (In the interst of a learning culture - it's 'foolproof' as in, 'it's safe from fools' not 'full proof' which is a whisky term) More on reddit.com
