Only us-east-1 was affected in AWS but no complete outage, and I myself was logged out of majority of the servers. Including TE. I always assumed TE was self hosted and managed by renegade and puns.

But it seems to be hosted on cloud

14

Same here. You cleared it for me as well

15

Seems Bangalore not affected

Is TE self hosted on us-east-1 EC2 instance?

17

I just got fired from AWS.

Apparently you can’t “stress test” us-east-1 by unplugging the internet for the whole planet.

Anyone hiring?

Highly unlikely.

Since majority users are indians, I dont see why they wouldn’t use asia region.

Also, TE runs on discourse so it most likely is hosted on EKS but considering recent migration it could be running on docker within ec2 instances. Regardless of how it’s hosted, us-east outage will have cascading effects to rest of the regions in one way ir another.
