So much for the pivot to "move fast with stable infrastructure."

They've been down for, what, 20 minutes in the past year?
Most of their outages appear to be regional, and only part of their site. This one also appears to have been regional. So it's hard for us outsiders to know the statistics.

These kinds of outages are pretty typical for "move fast and break things" development -- instead of spending huge effort making sure that no outage ever happens, spend effort testing and limiting outages to a small part of production. The intended benefit is much faster development.
