Re: If only there was a way

This thing where people come in to blame Netflix et al for not adding resilience is getting a bit old.

DynamoDB is a managed db service with resilience built in automatically. There is no multi az option for clients because it's built in.

Should people not use it now it's been demonstrated unreliable? Quite possibly. Should they avoid any Amazon managed service? Perhaps, though difficult.

Is it their fault and not Amazon's when DynamoDB fails? No.

Not knowing much about AWS is fine. Assuming that their clients are at fault when one of their managed services goes down isn't. Unless your point is that they shouldn't trust AWS at all in which case you'll likely find a solid approval base here.
