Ask HN: What did Netflix do differently to survive the Amazon outage?

7 pointsby iamscannerabout 14 years ago
Inspired by these:<p>http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2475729 (Jedberg on Reddit's recent outage)<p>http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2476052 (Skynet, EC2, and Zencoder)<p>Why did Reddit, Zencoder, Heroku, and myriad other services go down, without Netflix encountering the same problem? Can anyone get into the details on what's different about their architectural setup that allowed them to handle the failure gracefully?
