AWS has plenty of failed data retrievals, outages not mentioned or documented, and other shenanigans of the sort. It's a turn and burn operation tho where skilled folk only spend a few quarters or years before moving onto other (usually more) stable tech companies.

You can hear all about this if you turn up to Harry's at 7pm on Thursdays, or at many of the other tech events in Seattle. Lots of current and ex-Amazonians out there with stories!
