- Cieplak 9y agoI wonder if WhatsApp's infrastructure is still built on Erlang. https://www.wired.com/2015/09/whatsapp-serves-900-million-users-50-engineers/ https://www.wired.com/2015/09/whatsapp-serves-900-million-us...
- gradientdescent 9y agoIt's impossible for them to migrate away from it today _silently_ The question is "What is their status with their setup today: Want to keep Erlang or migrate to Go/Java/Rust" Anyway... Erlang is considered to be the/a main reason for their success bcs it keeps out the mediocre Java-Developers
- reiichiroh 9y agoThey have a Twitter account for outages that hasn't been used since 2014.
- Buzzinga007 9y agoDown In MOROCCO
- Nemant 9y agoDown in the SF Bay Area
- kiltmaker 9y agoDown in Edinburgh, Scotland.
- franciscop 9y agoWhat seems to be the official whatsapp status on twitter is silent: https://mobile.twitter.com/wa_status https://mobile.twitter.com/wa_status Their subtitle "We are working very hard to make this twitter account irrelevant." is quite apropriate if they don't use it (; Just kidding, I love Whatsapp and just saw the talk on Startup School and loved it.
- TheAlchemist 9y agoUh, Spotify down too in France. Looks like a bigger issue ?

- shekhar101 9y agoAccount created a day ago. Is it really Jan Koum?
- dang 9y agoI believe so. We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14260565 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14260565 and marked it off-topic.
- gradientdescent 9y agoFrom what he says and from the karma going up the account seems legit We can't expect him "to tweet his HN-Name" for verification. He could, though I expect him to have strong opinions on things in general (leading to quickly reject a lot of (wrong) paths)
- shekhar101 9y agoMy point was, the account was taken by someone a day ago. And I am pretty sure Jan Koum would not be commenting on HN article at the time of a massive outage in WhatsApp. It may be him, but very unlikely. My 2 cents.
- gradientdescent 9y agoHe should be busily working on resolving it Or doing the PR part (Which is talking to ppl on HN ofc ;)
- irgeek 9y agoSeems to be back up for me in AU.

- ShaneOG 9y agoBack up now in Brazil
- kiltmaker 9y agoBack in Edinburgh, Scotland. But I still can't message a few people -- the messages leave my phone (single V).
- Buzzinga007 9y agoBack Up In Morocco For Now
- aylons 9y agoIt is coming back in Brazil, already. Interestingly, their Status Twitter account says "We are working very hard to make this twitter account irrelevant.". As it has not been updated at all today, I'd say they have accomplished it.
- shekhar101 9y agoBack online in US (Bay Area). Waiting for the post-mortem now.
- Buzzinga007 9y agoAny Post-mortem Yet ?
