Pretty weird that a @Cloudflare outage caused @X to fail... oh wait, that just happened. 😅 Just as @awscloud is effectively 'in the loop' for @signalapp, reliance on any single third-party layer, like a major CDN, creates a service-wide vulnerability. Always working to harden

Lol, @elonmusk ******** on @signalapp messenger for being down during AWS outage meanwhile his entire platform is down with a cloud flare outage

After the @awscloud outage took @signalapp offline, the company said the quiet part out loud. For real-time apps at global scale, there are only a few viable clouds. Signal uses AWS in part and still cannot read your messages due to end-to-end encryption. The outage is a

How did @AWSCloud going down this morning make @signalapp to crash?

Greetings @signalapp - would you perhaps tell us what was with AWS US-EAST-1 outage that hit you? I am not to blame but would like to learn on building much more redundant systems overall. This is a good place to all of us to learn. #reliability #redundancy #cloudapps

Hey @signalapp I thought you used your own infrastructure….why are you down during @awscloud crash & burn

I don’t get people’s stupid reaction with @signalapp being down because of AWS? Did you think messages were floating on their own, navigation through the fabric of space time between phones ? Of course they need servers, it doesn’t change anything about encryption. Ffs.
