66.9+ crore views — truly staggering!
As a DevOps Engineer, I deeply admire the incredible scalability, traffic management, and real-time optimizations that made this possible. Handling nearly half the population seamlessly, without lag or glitches, showcases a masterclass in distributed systems, autoscaling, and CDN optimization.
Hats off to the incredible engineering team at JioHotstar and Disney+ Hotstar, Jio for pulling off this massive feat of reliability and performance!

AWS goes down. Azure follows. Cloudflare joins the party.
AWS goes down. Azure follows. Cloudflare joins the party. At this point I'm not even troubleshooting… I'm just sitting here thinking, if the clouds keep crashing, what's the plan? And here's the funny part. Everyone says AI will take our jobs. Bro, AI can't even save its own infrastructure right now. Half the time it "optimizes" something and the other half it quietly breaks what humans already fixed So yeah, I'm a DevOps engineer. I'm supposed to be worried. But honestly? If outages keep happening like a monthly festival, AI isn't destroying our jobs… It's giving us more work than ever. Cloud down. Systems crying. Humans fixing. Same cycle. New buzzwords. AI will not replace us. But it might spoil our work first… and then spoil its own
Stop Leaving AWS Credits Unclaimed - That Outage Might've Owed You Money
Remember the AWS outage on October 20th? Six hours down. Over 100+ services affected. Millions of users impacted. Everyone's talked about the RCA, multi-region setups, and resilience planning. But here's what most teams completely miss: 👉 You might be owed money. The SLA Reality Check AWS makes uptime promises like: - Cognito — 99.9% - DynamoDB — 99.99% (and 99.999% for Global Tables) - EC2, Lambda, CloudFront… all have their own SLAs. Now, do the math: 6 hours of downtime in a 30-day month = 99.17% uptime. That's below every single SLA above. What That Means for You If your services were affected, you're entitled to service credits — typically 10–25% of your monthly bill. So if you spend $10K/month on Cognito or DynamoDB… that's real money sitting unclaimed. How to Claim It (Takes 10 Minutes) 1. Go to your AWS Support Center 2. Open a new case 3. List the affected services 4. Reference the SLA breach 5. Submit before the end of the second billing cycle AWS won't credit you automatically. You have to ask. The Takeaway Yes — improve your DR and multi-region strategy. But also — don't forget to claim what you're owed. It's quick, it's legit, and your FinOps team will thank you.
DevOps is a Piece of Cake? Think Again!
DevOps is a Piece of Cake? Think Again! Hold my coffee... Ah, DevOps. The magical land where code deploys itself, pipelines never fail, and production is always stable. Right? WRONG. Let's be real about what DevOps actually involves.
