Comment on Heroku's AWS outage post-mortemparent

Comments

We could just as easily say that relying completely on Heroku is irresponsible to our own users.

Just as Heroku took responsibility for the unexpected weaknesses their reliance on a single region created, I believe their customers should take responsibility for the unexpected weaknesses our reliance on a single hosting provider has created.

Heroku still has the value of added resiliency, even if it's not 110% bulletproof. Ultimately, we're responsible for the architecture design of our own sites.
