I just landed at SeaTac an hour ago and the rideshare/app pickup was absolutely nutso. Like thousands of people standing around waiting for taxis and Ubers. The one person I asked what was going on said that the computer systems at all the regional hotels are down (not sure how that makes more people need cabs). Wonder if it’s from this

To be honest, that might just be SeaTac on a Thursday. Everything's under construction and the late night arrivals has been crowded for a while now.

Why do companies use system that rely on other system (like analytics). The platform should just run by it self and gracefully degrade if other external system doesn't work. Like a banner on top "Crowdstrike" out service on top or console log.

Not sure if related but I’m guessing it is - Ryanair airline booking is down in Europe. Just returns an error 500.
