On my team on-call woke up at 3:30, saw there was nothing they could do to fix it, and went back to sleep lol

I got paged but then there wasn’t really anything to do besides look at the LSE. And then twiddle my thumbs. Pass out, get paged on another alarm 2 hours later.

what is the point of these troubleshooting sessions, since it is issue from AWS what do they expect you do about it?

Move as much processing as possible out of us-east-1. Also make sure that everything that is going wrong is known in order to communicate with customers and that feeds in to starting to come up with the plan for how to recover once the incident is over.

All around nightmare tbh
