But Amazon have their own CDN. Amazon cloudfront service.

Or do they do slightly different things?

“Early June 8, a customer pushed a valid configuration change that included the specific circumstances that triggered the bug, which caused 85% of our network to return errors.”

Counterintuitively, the outage and recovery led to a rise in Fastly’s stock price, which was up 12% over the course of Tuesday. The increase may have been because the company had demonstrated an effective incident response plan, or simply because the outage had served to make investors more aware of the scale of the Fastly’s business and the size of its customer base.

Internet outage illustrates lack of resilience at heart of critical services

The effects will not have been quite so rosy for Fastly’s customers. At Amazon alone, for instance, the outage could have lost the company $32m in sales, according to a calculation by the SEO agency Reboot.
