To my understanding the main problem is DynamoDB being down, and DynamoDB is what a lot of AWS services use for their eventing systems behind the scenes. So there's probably like 500 billion unprocessed events that'll need to get processed even when they get everything back online. It's gonna be a long one.

500 billions events. Always blows my mind how many people use aws

I know nothing. But I'd imagine the number of 'events' generated during this period of downtime will eclipse that number every minute.
