    @AWSSupport Thank you — please do prioritize this. My account has been down for 24+ hours and I still haven't received the verification email. Case 177691716900502 is still unassigned. Waiting on your DM reply.

    Where statelessness breaks at the infrastructure level, silently. File uploads written to local disk. The file lives on one instance. Others cannot see it. Fix, object storage like Amazon S3. In process caches with no sharing. One instance caches, another does not. Fix, centralized cache. Background jobs tied to instance memory. Jobs disappear on restart. Fix, external queue. WebSocket connections tied to one server. Broadcasts miss other clients. Fix, shared pub or sub.

    @Cointelegraph stay away from analyzoors constantly reasoning 95% pullbacks with amazon aws analogies doing survivorship biases run away from virtue signalers mute binary biasers block people who made a coin their identity avoid the „this time is different” crowd, it never is, they never learn most of ct is a short term game with short term people pretending otherwise, stick with the ones who play long games, cheers naval if a founder needs 10 threads and a podcast tour to explain the tokenomics, the tokenomics are the problem if you can’t understand how value accrues to an app or a protocol in one read, there is usually no tangible value accrual before chiming in first understand the alignment between protocol direction (foundation/founding company) and token eg: hype very aligned, polkadot not aligned, ethereum both: aligned and not aligned, solana aligned, cardano not aligned respect the market over the narrative, especially when they disagree, but don’t overdo it, cardano, stellar, ripple are still top 20 don’t chase single digit yields with 6 figures if you are an impulsive emotional decision maker irl, better run away from crypto or don’t cry here later on

    @AWSSupport The issue is that the team is NOT responding via the case. It’s been 3 days for this one and 8 days for the previous one. I am totally blocked. Can you at least escalate Case ID 177654556500245 to the Billing and account team? 'Working via the case' is currently impossible Thanks

    A story of applying for Startup credits. @Azure - great customer service, hassle-free. @awscloud - back and forth straight out rejections, "at our discretion" from the support, to finally learn that the issue is in spelling out address street name "North" instead of "N".

    @AWSSupport I did it ping kiro on discord and its been 2 days did not get any response also I open a case with Aws it also been 2 days did not get any response can you help me to fix it ? @kirodotdev

    Thanh Nguyen (@ng_thanh8) reported

    @AWSSupport I really like Kiro, but let’s be honest — this is getting frustrating. It’s not the first time bugs and issues have shown up, and a lot of people have already reported them in Discord… only to be ignored or get no response. Being a fan doesn’t mean staying silent when support feels unresponsive. Hope the team starts paying more attention, because the community deserves better

    @awscloud Who do you want to be able to blame yourself or them? That is the decision. If you aren't confident in yourself, use them, but at the same time, maybe you are letting your customers down by not using the tools you have.

    Amazon Web Services (AWS) just mass-deleted a billion-dollar problem. Amazon S3 Files launched yesterday. Your S3 buckets now act as fully-featured file systems. No data copying. No syncing pipelines. No EFS + S3 juggling act. Why this is HUGE for AI builders:

    @AWSSupport We are currently having an issue on our Production on AWS because a required quota is not being approved. This same quota was approved in our Test Environment on AWS. Support Ticket keeps getting closed. caseID: 177753893100221

    🔥AWS outage update: @awscloud is calling the ongoing US East 1 outage in N. Virginia a "thermal event". It sounds like some cooling system failed over there at AWS. Also, the backup cooling must have also failed. And then some instances got fried. Impact has expanded to other services in the Availability Zone that depend on affected instances: AWS IoT Core Amazon ElastiCache Amazon Elastic Load Balancing Amazon Redshift Amazon SageMaker

    @amazon @Meta @awscloud Due to bad ai and offshore "customer service" it's taken me AN HOUR to try and get help with a simple issue. They couldn't help. Take "customer obsessed" off the bio and replace with " we don't give a **** about our customers." Absolutely getting worse every day.

    @Suporte_Vanlink @AWSSupport @AWSSupport we have to pay a lot of people today, and we can’t use our systems, I believe the restatement needs to be immediately after de payment, this problem impacts in many areas of our company, including external users, many parents can’t see the school transportation in app
