I don't want to react to the AWS breakdown (even if this toot looks like that).
Telling that you should use a different service, your own server, or whatever to avoid a breakdown is stupid. All solutions are subject to breakdown and AWS isn't the worst.

It's time to dig up a post from the beginning of the year:
