Refreshing article! For people with less time check out https://github.com/jhuangtw/xg2xg which tracks open source implementations of Google internal tools (also linked in the article)

Also I have been looking to move away from Makefiles and bash scripts and Bazel does come up more often. What are your experiences working it and how does it compare to Blaze?

I have heard stories like these before but it wasn’t clear to me that this is apparently a broader issue at AWS (reading the other comments). While I think that very short outages in line with SLAs must mot necessarily go public or have a post mortem, it is astonishing to see that some teams/managers go through lengths to hide this at the „primus“ of hyperscalers.

I always wonder how many more products AWS pushes out the door versus cleaning up and improving what the have already. Cognito itself is such a half-baked mess...

But back to topic, when should we update status pages? On every incident? Or when SLAs are violated?
