People that care about the time it takes to boil water just have an instant hot water boiler on (or under) their bench.

On price, you could definitely do better than $8/million steps, $0.25/GB written and $0.15/GB-month for state storage, but if you were designing something generic on S3/DynamoDB (state + status) to support all use cases

This basically is just a an application with steps that are checkpointed when they progress in a shared database (that's abstracted away from you). It's considerably simpler, less magical and cheaper than the equivalent Step Funct

Still $0.20/million requests, but all Lambda functions run on provisioned EC2 instances (taking into account savings plans & reservations) with a 15% premium. You can dial up/down the vCPU:RAM ratio so that if you have a lot o

Running your own AuthN/AuthZ with an off-the-shelf OSS is very straight-forward (as a SaaS product at least) and isn't any more burdensome from a security perspective than what you're already doing for your core service. This

One feature failing like this should probably log the error and fail closed. It shouldn't take down everything else in your big proxy that sits in front of your entire business.

While there appears to be some us-east-1 SPoF for Route 53 updates (as shown recently), the actual health checks themselves occur in up to 8 different regions [1] with an 18%[2] agreement of failure required to initiate a failover. AWS has

us-east-1 is unimaginably large. The last public info I saw said it had 159 datacenters. I wouldn't be surprised if many millions of accounts are primarily located there. While this could possibly be related to the downtime, I think th

Enterprise support agreements are organization-wide. Although, you can gamify Business support (which is priced as a percentage of your bill) to not include things like your CloudTrail account, which probably never require support, but can

100ms isn’t going to make a difference to email-based OTP. Also, who’s using email-based OTP?

Route53 was still resolving DNS entries just fine. But it looked like someone/something removed the entries for DynamoDB.

The most recent public count of datacenters for AWS in us-east-1 is 159. I suspect that’s even an unwieldy number for NSA to spy on.

That doesn’t make much sense to me, there are literally billions of phones that people are using all the time. Apple has over 2.3 billion active devices of which a small percentage are Macs (an estimated 24 million were sold in 2024 and aro
