Netflix has spent A LOT of time and money on their infrastructure, expounding their engineering views, proclaiming best practices, and how they use redundancy/sharding/insert best practices and major buzzwords in order to combat the chance of this happening.
I'm a huge fan of Netflix and their approaches to infrastructure, and I'm almost certain that they'll have some very interesting conclusions from this.
I mean, after all, the internet's true natural predator still lurks, its yellow CAT steel present across all of the nation...
I speak of course, of Backhoes.

That's actually a commonly-heard phrase in the US around Superbowl time.
Are you referring to the 17 minutes per hour of actual gameplay, the 21 minutes of rambling commentary/sports celebrity gossip, or the 22 minutes of ad spots?
I think there was a massive marketing campaign to get people to pay attention to superbowl ads claiming they are funny.
They've just turned into ads in recent years.
Employees, CEOs and businesses in general like generating cash and/or getting paid. If an ad network being down hinders their ability to do so, then that seems pretty critical to me.
Sorry but I really have no sympathy for people that happily waste my time by showing me irrelevant content, trying to sell me garbage or flood my mailbox at every opportunity (the only reason my mailbox is clean is because I am allergic to any web form that asks for my email).
I don't have anything against Google per-se, by the way. I'd be happy to pay for their services should they allow me to do so.
And that we would be unlikely to have such things in a pay for everything model?
My company ended up having an equipment failure that took out both production servers and out internal support system at the same time. Lots of pale faces that day. What has two thumbs and bureaucratic bullshit that put runbooks and deployment tools on production hardware? This guy.
My bet is whatever cause this problem, someone got a raise last year for doing it.
