Jin Daily Tech Trivia: AWS Network Outage Caused Cats to Miss Their Meals 🐱💻

Did you know the AWS US-East region went down for quite a while yesterday? And it didn’t just take down websites — it even messed up flight routing, disembarkation systems, and most importantly… your cat’s dinner schedule.

Turns out, some high-end smart pet feeders rely on Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service) to push feeding schedules to the machine. But when DNS went down, those commands got stuck in limbo — and your poor cat got nothing but confusion and betrayal.

So yes, somewhere out there, there’s a hungry cat glaring at the cloud. ☁️🐾

Hope you learned something new today! See ya!
