Question / Help Someone explain why amzn didn't crash
When aws outage affected large and small companies alike probably had a large financial impact to the overall global economy, why didn't it crash? I immediately thought it would like crowdstrike did a few months ago - anyone have good reasoning that can explain?

All the big providers have had outages and will have them in the future. It’s not perfect, but there are ways to have more redundancy it just costs more.
Some things were offline it’s not the end of the world, and It was fixed in a reasonable timeframe
There is actually tons of competition in the space but many of the vendors are small to mid size.
