AWS Outage
Incident Report for HBK Where
Resolved
There was an AWS outage early Wednesday morning which caused sporadic issues for HBK Where (and thousands of other websites). The cause of the outage was not a service we use but was a service other AWS services we use depend on. AWS' status dashboard showed there was not an outage, but this is because they weren't even able to update the status dashboard. It resolved within the hour. In response, we implemented more sophisticated monitoring in order to preemptively catch and investigate these kinds of issues in the future. https://www.zdnet.com/article/aws-outage-impacts-thousands-of-online-services/
