We experienced an outage at Coinbase last night, which is never acceptable. The root cause was a room overheating in an AWS datacenter when multiple chillers failed. We design our services to be redundant to downtime in any one AWS Availability Zone (AZ), and most of our systems worked this way last night, but not all.
Our centralized exchange did not. Exchanges have unique architectures that optimize for latency and co-location of clients. It is possible to make exchanges resistant to AZ failures, but this can introduce latency delays that are not desirable along with breaking customer co-location. Given this incident, we'll revisit these tradeoffs to ensure we're giving you the best possible venue to trade. At a minimum, the duration of an outage should be able to be reduced considerably when an AZ move is needed.
Thank you to the AWS and Coinbase teams for working through the night to mitigate the issue. We’ll share the detailed technical summary once it's ready.

Lmao, the centralised irony hits hard

🇬🇷 Greece is about to become the Balkans' satellite internet capital, and @elonmusk is the reason why.
Starlink has cleared environmental approvals for a major ground station in Preveza, featuring 40 satellite dishes and antenna arrays, all operated remotely.
The hub will serve as the digital gateway for all of southeastern Europe.
Once it's live, millions across the Balkans get faster, more reliable internet.
All it took was one guy with rockets to sort it out.
