We don’t deploy to us-east but still so many of our API partners and 3rd party services were down a large chunk of the service was effectively down. Including stuff like many dev tools

It’s even worse than that - us-east-1 is so overloaded, and they have roughly 5+ outages per year on different services. They don’t publish outage numbers so it’s hard to tell.

At this point, being in any other region cuts your disaster exposure dramatically
