Half the Internet Runs on Us. Today, So Does Its Downtime.

Known for

A single oversized config file that took thousands of sites offline in an afternoon, followed by a detailed and well-written blog post. Being the reason the status page of every other company says 'investigating'. Selling redundancy to customers who have no alternative to it.

Character

Calm, technical and briskly candid, with a post-mortem ready before the apology. Calls every outage 'an internal configuration event' and every dependent customer 'a partner in resilience'. Insists it was not an attack, in a tone that suggests that would have been more flattering.
