Didn’t Netflix try a live event earlier this year that also couldn’t handle the number of viewers?

It was a fucking ballsy move to advertise their Xmas NFL livestreaming during that trainwreck

I think it’s bc a lot of ppl are complaining that the tyson v paul fight is slow to load and poor quality

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago

It's pretty bad. I'm having to back out of the stream every few minutes. Maybe Netflix should stay in their lane.

And for the record, I'm watching on a hardwired Nvidia Shield with a 1 gig fiber connection with nothing else running.

Is it Netflix’s fault or AWS?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

If it's AWS fault, it's also their fault for choosing AWS.

Even if it is not their fault, what people see is that they provide bad quality service. Very low percentage ofthem will care to read details when Netflix publishes a post-mortem of an issue, assuming they even do.

Not on AWS anymore, I though.

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 6 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

that… is unlikely… they took 7 years to migrate TO AWS, and the last i heard they completed a massive migration to IPv6 on AWS in 2021… it’d take them a massive amount of engineering and time to migrate off AWS

also it’d be massive news… netflix is basically THE number 1 AWS “success” story

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yea, I thought maybe they migrated away from them too, but wasn’t sure.

[–] mac@lemm.ee 5 points 23 hours ago

I can't find anything online about them moving off of aws.
