Amazon EC2 currently down. Affecting Heroku, Reddit, Others
I am frankly surprised so many still use EC2 considering how frequently it breaks. It's not cheap, so the only reasons to use it would be reliability or scale right? Why not just get lots of boxes at Hetzner and OVH (40 EUR a month for 32GB of RAM and 4x2x3.4GHz cores) and scale up / redundansize that way?
