There's nothing on health.aws.amazon.com but I'm getting reports of performance failure on systems that utilize AWS...
Downdetector is also recording failure reports: https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/
This is cool, does this actually hit all the services directly (in each region) instead of pulling from AWS Status?
I've run a business in this space since 2021, I am yet to meet a business that lets their marketing team own their status page.
You'll find most engineering teams will start owning a status page to centralise updates to their stakeholders, before eventually growing into the customer success/support org owning it to minimise support tickets during incidents.
Marketing has nothing to do with status pages.
https://updog.ai/status/openai issue history looks terrible. Wonder how you ping openAI for this; with a completion attempt on a particular model?
From the page:
> API health is inferred by analyzing aggregated and anonymized telemetry from across the Datadog customer base.
Ah, you have fallen for it:
Wasn't the first reference to this joke in the office, also is it just me or do I remember this guy from either breaking bad or the office or (both??)
Was his name neil on breaking bad or the office, I think his name was neil in the office, one of the warehouse workers right?
We were seeing ECS Fargate capacity weirdness in us-east-1 earlier.
Had some very weird behaviour from cloudfront used purely to serve images from s3. Mostly huge slowdowns and outright failures on endpoints. Was about 15 hours ago that I noticed it by chance.
Was nothing on the aws status pages and no alerts/errors in my console. Eventually it sped up again.

We are not seeing anything right now... keeping an eye out but things are normal.
Don't see any issues in us-east-2 (Ohio) with my infra, but typically issues arise in us-east-1.
Down detector is much much higher when there is a real problem.
There might be something, but wouldn’t be widespread.
Most of the reports on the downdetector heatmap are coming from the NYC area, that's probably more likely to be a network issue (or even, if you can imagine it, DNS) than a real AWS failure since it's well into business hours on the West Coast.

I got a down status on https://leetcode.com/..It may be related.
Disclosure, I work for Datadog:

Looks fine for now.
