Twitch, Pinterest, Reddit and more go down in Fastly CDN outage (opens in new tab)

I see this message when visiting twitch.tv:

    Fastly error: unknown domain: www.twitch.tv.
    Details: cache-syd10136-SYD

Or alternately this one:

    Error 503 Service Unavailable
    Service Unavailable
    Guru Mediation:

    Varnish cache server

Certainly not ideal for a group of websites that huge. I wonder if this will be one of those cases where I get to read an interesting technical write-up of the outage.

Parts of GitHub, Amazon, Stripe and Twitter are down too. I'm sure these companies have considered this downside to outsourcing critical infrastructure.

It would be interesting to see estimations on the man-hour cost of even a short outage.

Somebody has to pay for this, definitely Fastly. I want a full investigation and an elaborate post mortem of the most intricate of details.

No stone unturned, lots of people lost billions because of this.
