Among the many benefits of running @bitfinex outside of AWS (predictability of the system, performance, ...), we were sick tired of AWS rebooting instances without much of a notice.
In many occasions AWS sent a communication after the fact.

@bitfinex has the best engineering team. In fact is almost the only exchange always up during windy markets. Our infra has replica, sharding and 100% resiliency. I just don't like random reboots. Dealing with high-frequency trading is not as dealing with an e-commerce
