  8. Observer | How Writer CEO May Habib Transforms Language Tech Into Enterprise A.I. by Tim Keary

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    May Habib, a Lebanese‑Canadian refugee who grew up as her family’s English interpreter, co‑founded the language‑technology startup Writer (originally Qordoba) and now serves as its CEO. At the recent HumanX conference she explained why most enterprise generative‑AI pilots flop: companies focus on incremental tweaks rather than restructuring entire workflows. Writer tackles this by offering end‑to‑end AI agents and a proprietary suite of large‑language models (Palmyra) that automate multi‑step tasks, integrate with existing systems, and include robust governance controls such as layered kill‑switches. With over 300 enterprise customers—including Salesforce, Airbnb, and major firms in finance, healthcare, and retail—Writer has deployed more than 15,000 agents and positions itself as a rare pre‑ChatGPT player built for enterprise compliance, data control, and rapid, decisive implementation of AI‑first operations.

  13. So, hubby and I have been pouring over what is known about the #datacenter that's planned for #SanfordME . We figured out where it's going to go (New Dam Road along the #MousamRiver). And the mystery corporation is none other than #AWS - #AmazonWebServices!

    New Details Emerge on Proposed Southern Maine #DataCenter

    Local officials and project stakeholders to appear before state lawmakers on Thursday.

    Published on Feb. 22, 2026

    Excerpt: "A proposed Amazon Web Services data center in Sanford, Maine has new details emerging, including the location along the #MousamRiver and plans for independent power generation using a mixture of solar, battery storage, and fuel cells. The project is slated to be 'islanded' from the broader electrical grid, according to state Sen. Matt Harrington. Stakeholders, including Sanford officials and the developer, are expected to appear before the Legislature's Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee on Thursday."

  15. What Caused the Massive AWS Outage in 2025? Understanding the Global Internet Meltdown

    Published: October 25, 2025 – DoRaleigh.com Tech & Digital Infrastructure News

    On October 20, 2025, the world witnessed one of the most severe cloud disruptions in modern history — a massive AWS outage that rippled across the entire digital landscape. The hours-long event shut down major companies, stalled global commerce, disrupted travel, and reminded everyone just how dependent we’ve become on Amazon Web Services.

    If you woke up on Monday wondering why your bank app wasn’t working, why Alexa wasn’t responding, or why your business tools refused to load, you weren’t alone. A single malfunction inside AWS’s northern Virginia data center brought significant portions of the internet to a halt.

    Below, we break down exactly what caused the AWS outage, who was affected, and why this failure matters for the future of cloud computing.

    What Triggered the AWS Outage on October 20, 2025?

    Amazon confirmed that the outage originated inside its US-EAST-1 region, the company’s oldest — and most relied-upon — data center cluster located in northern Virginia.

    The Root Cause: A Malfunctioning Internal Monitoring Subsystem

    According to AWS:

    An internal subsystem responsible for monitoring the health of network load balancers within its EC2 service malfunctioned. This triggered a cascade of DNS resolution failures, preventing AWS services from translating domain names to IP addresses. With DNS failing, critical services such as DynamoDB — a database underpinning more than 100 AWS tools — stopped functioning properly. As DynamoDB and EC2 degraded, systems across the global internet collapsed under the pressure.

    In short:

    A small internal failure disrupted the internet’s traffic routers, broke DNS, and halted key AWS services powering thousands of companies worldwide.

    How Long Did the AWS Outage Last?

    The outage lasted several hours, spanning the late morning through evening on October 20. Amazon restored most core functions by nighttime, but many companies continued experiencing:

    Delays Slow service recovery Massive backlogs of queued requests

    For businesses relying on real-time operations — think airports, banks, and delivery services — every hour mattered.

    Which Companies Were Affected by the 2025 AWS Outage?

    The short answer: Almost everyone.

    Millions of consumers faced app crashes, login failures, and communication blackouts as services across entertainment, finance, retail, and transportation ground to a halt.

    Major Companies Affected

    Finance & Payments:

    Venmo Coinbase Robinhood

    Communication & Tech:

    Slack Zoom Microsoft Teams WhatsApp Signal Reddit Perplexity

    Entertainment & Gaming:

    Hulu HBO Max Fortnite Spotify

    Retail & Food Service:

    Starbucks McDonald’s Instacart

    Transportation:

    Delta United Airlines Uber Lyft

    Telecom:

    AT&T Verizon T-Mobile

    Even Amazon itself wasn’t spared — Alexa, Prime Video, Ring, and parts of Amazon’s warehouse operations went offline.

    Public agencies were hit as well, including the NYC MTA and the U.K.’s HMRC tax website.

    Why Was This AWS Outage Such a Big Deal?

    AWS isn’t just another cloud provider. It powers:

    A third of the global cloud computing market Millions of websites and mobile apps Critical infrastructure from airlines to hospitals Retail and logistics systems used worldwide

    This incident marks the third major outage in five years linked to the same data cluster, US-EAST-1 — a region so essential that downtime there often looks like downtime everywhere.

    Just a year after the disastrous Crowdstrike malfunction of 2024, which impacted healthcare and transportation networks globally, the 2025 AWS outage reinforced a hard truth:

    The world’s digital infrastructure is concentrated in the hands of a few tech giants. When one of them falters — even briefly — the world feels it immediately.

    Was the AWS Outage Caused by a Cyberattack?

    No.

    Amazon reported no evidence of hacking, malware, or external interference.

    Instead, the outage was triggered by an internal technical malfunction — proof that even routine system failures can have enormous consequences when cloud platforms are this interconnected.

    What Is AWS, and Why Does It Matter So Much?

    For those who don’t work directly in cloud services, here’s a quick refresher:

    What AWS Provides

    Cloud storage Virtual servers Databases Networking AI tools Enterprise hosting App infrastructure

    AWS essentially acts as the scaffolding of the internet, allowing companies to scale up without maintaining physical servers.

    From startups to Fortune 500s, most digital services run on AWS — which explains why this outage reached nearly every corner of daily life.

    How the AWS Outage Impacts Raleigh & the Triangle

    Though the outage was global, the Triangle felt the effects locally:

    Raleigh’s tech companies relying on AWS tools like EC2, S3, and Lambda reported delays and downtime. Local residents struggled with apps like Instacart, Lyft, Slack, and Venmo. RDU travelers reported check-in issues with airlines whose systems rely on AWS. Smart home users across Durham, Cary, and Raleigh experienced Alexa failures throughout the day.

    The Triangle’s growing reputation as a tech hub means regional businesses increasingly depend on cloud platforms — outages like this highlight the need for redundancy and disaster-planning.

    Final Thoughts: A Wake-Up Call for Global Tech Infrastructure

    The 2025 AWS outage wasn’t just an inconvenience — it was a global warning shot. As the digital world continues to centralize around a small number of cloud providers, even minor internal failures can cause:

    Financial losses Systemic business disruptions Transportation delays Communication breakdowns Global economic ripple effects

    While AWS restored functionality by the end of the day, the event exposed just how fragile the internet truly is — and how vital it is for governments, companies, and cloud providers to invest in more resilient infrastructure.
