12:48 <beneroth> [OT] AWS cloud failure last week was due capacity increase (how ironic for The Cloud): https://aws.amazon.com/de/message/11201/

12:48 <beneroth> "the new capacity had caused all of the servers in the fleet to exceed the maximum number of threads allowed by an operating system configuration."

12:48 <beneroth> classic ulimit :)

12:49 <Regenaxer> hehe

12:49 <Regenaxer> sounds familiar

12:50 <beneroth> exactly hihi

12:52 <beneroth> though this error pattern is also some distant relative of "number of records in database grew higher than the size of the array in the business application (written in C) running for 30 years without any issue"

12:53 <beneroth> endless scaling is a lie. one has to be aware of the limits, and limits there are always somewhere.

12:53 <beneroth> though this category of errors is tricky to debug, granted

12:54 <Regenaxer> T
