  @BenENewton @awscloud This isn’t human error. This is failed automation

  @BaconOverflow @awscloud I'm an experienced technologist. Yes a bug was likely. My fear was I'd made a terrible mistake or leaked credentials. AWS customers are on the hook for either. AWS has no hard caps. My initial alerts were high but not billions. For 10 mins I thought this just might be real.

  @AWSSupport Tells me to login when I keep telling you I cannot login because I don’t have the capability to do so.

  Day 1 : "How to Scale an App to 10 Million Users on AWS" If I have to design a system for 10 million users, I won't build everything on Day 1 because it will add unnecessary complexity and cost. I'll start simple with one application server and one database. As traffic grows, if the server starts reaching its CPU, memory, or storage limits, I'll first scale vertically by moving to a bigger instance. Once that is not enough, I'll separate the backend and database so both can scale independently. To avoid a single point of failure, I'll deploy the application across multiple Availability Zones and put a Load Balancer in front so if one server or AZ goes down, traffic is automatically routed to healthy servers. As the number of users keeps increasing, I'll make my application stateless by storing sessions in Redis. This allows me to add multiple application servers behind the Load Balancer and scale horizontally. If my database starts getting overloaded with reads, I'll use Redis to cache frequently accessed data and add read replicas to distribute read traffic. For static assets like images, CSS, and JavaScript, I'll store them in Amazon S3 and serve them through CloudFront so requests don't keep hitting my application servers. If traffic suddenly spikes during sales or events, I'll enable Auto Scaling with CloudWatch metrics so AWS automatically adds or removes servers based on demand. As the application becomes larger, I'll split the monolith into microservices. This allows each service, like authentication, payments, or notifications, to scale independently instead of scaling the entire application. If the database becomes the bottleneck, especially for write operations, I'll use sharding or federation depending on the data and business requirements. Finally, when users are spread across the world, I'll deploy the application in multiple AWS Regions to reduce latency and improve availability. My approach is always the same: find the bottleneck, solve that bottleneck, and only introduce more complexity when the current architecture can no longer handle the traffic.

  Unfortunately although they appear to be awesome people BrambleCFD is turning out to not be that hot. The main problem is the relationships/what they do of all the different settings is ridiculously opaque. There is no documentation. Their solution is to try to explain things in a video call, and if you need help, you ask for it, which it takes a week or more to get any kind of answer from an actual human, not because they are doing anything wrong but that's just not a good system. It's a long long way from the useability of simscale. I did however uncover an option that might be reasonably good, which is a virtual machine that I pay for the core-hours on. In many ways this is better. I can work directly with openFOAM and one of the front ends on a high powered linux computer with hundreds of gigs of ram and 96 high powered cores, and still only pay for what I use, theoretically. The openFOAM foundation has a system worked out ad directly offers the service, unfortunately they in turn use the amazon AWS or the microsoft Azure system, but what can you do. There are other companies that do similar things, but they probably aren't as well done as the one from the actual foundation. I think I'll try that one first. Having an AI in a harness on the machine is probably going to be indispensable, but I'll be using it primarily as a learning tool rather than asking it to do everything for me. I have been able to set up CowAgent, which is kind of basic but seems to work ok, with DeepSeek. A "harness" allows the AI to run commands on your computer and read the output automatically, as well as the other things web chat stuff can do. Secondly, it can store information in files and run the AI in a loop, doing many inferences one after the other, thus getting far more done than a web chat can (actually they might do something similar now IDK but they don't seem to).

  @marcelocantos @awscloud you're a moron. it was a known, and widespread issue, and they even had a notice in the health dashboard. this is a skill issue.

  @ngriffin_uk @awscloud The problem wasn’t only the billing page. Many people received billing usage alerts with tremendous spend. In our case, it was additionally frustrating because we couldn’t log in due to an MFA bug while we were about to board a ten hour flight. Some of us do care.

  @awscloud you guy has lost your mind. payment got missing so team told me they will raising the request. account got hold, we have 250K unused credits, and now they are not initiation the account. wtf. our whole production is down.

  @krassenstein @Tesla Be careful. All these at the same time makes me think they are hacked, I’m fairly certain Amazon AWS was hacked that day when everything when down, given my Grok we hacked and no one ever gave explanation. I’m no expert but ya know, all these signs are pointing to this. Also, the Obamas helped produce a movie where someone hacked our satellites and alluded to it being the Middle East and all the teslas went haywire and self drive themselves to pile up on all the freeways. I wish I remembered the name however I made note of this terrifying movie given Obama clearly knows things we don’t. Just sayin, these incidents aren’t scattered. I would not be driving that ***** if I were you.

  @_LeadPoisoning_ @awscloud That’s because it’s never up long enough to generate an error

  @okko @awscloud @AWSSupport That's why it's opt in. Netflix would likely not opt in and be fine with the risk. You could join them if you wish. I would prefer to face an outage if AWS has another billing disaster than have unbounded exposure.

  Today, a rare break outside ended when a $90B bill hit my inbox and sent me rushing back I learned it was a bug from AWS Support on X—but finding out this way is a problem. If the bill came by email, why not the notice? Premium pricing. Anything-but-premium service @AWSSupport

  @awscloud Runtime request flow User → HTTPS → ALB → ECS Fargate → Container The ALB handles HTTPS using ACM and routes traffic to the ECS service. The service runs multiple tasks across Availability Zones, giving the application redundancy instead of relying on one server.

  Anyone at @googlecloud or @awscloud (or a neocloud) wanting to slide into my DMs and help me rip some free credits? Possibly leading to larger contracts down the road .. I just tried signing up for an @Azure free trial, and the experience felt like what I imagine the elders went through with dial-up internet. Solutions Architects or Account Managers HMU

  @LayoffAI During the last 12 months Amazon AWS had outages directly caused by initiatives from the AI group (with associated revenue impact). No surprise they are down sizing the snake oil sales men group.

  Self hosting your email server is something that Is very tricky and I still can't grasp till today. The craziest part is not the setup but managing the email server reputation. I rather pay @Cloudflare or @awscloud.

  Kinda funny that nobody's even making observations like this about @awscloud, if you want to go a level deeper down the irrelevance well.

  Peter DeSantis talking at #agenticaisummit There will NOT be one AI chip type. If multiple AI chips take multiple years to bring to market, you have to be making assumptions about model requirements in that time frame. It's a systems problem, including the network.

  @AWSSupport Either that or ask me to login, which I keep telling you I cannot login. It has nothing to do with 2FA. That is not the issue.

  @AWSSupport @AWS @awscloud I still did not receive any email communication which I was expecting as soon as you guys noticed the issue. Today I almost lost my life due to panic. My hands were shaking as I was told. I still can’t believe I went through this. First email - insane actual bill about Dashboard shows the same amount After panic attack, I see a note on your support page, but what would one go to your support page ? Shouldn’t it be on your billing console page ? Again, my issue is not about your mistake, it’s about how you handled the situation. And you didn’t do anything!! Not even one email to the users!! Sad and shocked at the same time!! I can’t forget what I went through today morning. 😞
