S3 has had a data loss too sadly, a console UI bug lead to the wrong files getting deleted if I recall correctly. Yet another reason for frontend web tech to improve.

Factually incorrect, there was no data loss, availability was affected, however; https://aws.amazon.com/message/41926/

Not sure why you're citing some unrelated incident, I think you're jumping to conclusions that I'm talking about the one you cited, but I'm not. This one was not made public.

When was that? Do you have the post mortem for it?

[org3432]

There's no public postmortem, it was in 2015 as I recall, it was handled internally and just with affected customers.

It was a bit surprising when I found out, but I think the really interesting part is that low quality web tech are the weak link in the chain. That was an eye opener.
