I think they’re the only ones doing multi-cloud. If us-east-1 shits the bed, it’s a bad day for AWS in general.

So Roblox is the only of those companies that can handle proper region failover if us-east-1 shits the bed? You young ops have gotten soft! Learn to live by ChaosMonkey or die by the Gorilla.

Either that, or the reports stopped coming in since it's a school day.

Yeah, but proper failover and recovery requires additional infrastructure, and that costs money.
Hopefully a bunch of risk management people are writing I-told-you-so emails to C-suites right now.

AWS is a huge suite of products and services, and there’s a lot of old legacy shit running on it.
Yup, AWS is legacy cloud. It was only recently that they set encryption by default on S3 buckets, before that they were just in the clear by default.
Cybersecurity and disaster recovery are not directly profitable, so they are almost always neglected in your average shop.
It’s never important until suddenly it’s the most important thing in the world.

Yeah but not to worry, C-suites have pretty good filtering rules in place to never read them. Saves time, really.

Roblox doesn’t really lock down regions unless they are China. The game client can connect to any server they own. It naturally falls back to the server with the least issues without prompts and intervention.
