Evan, I just noticed that your service seems to be running on Slicehost, not the AWS colo in Virginia. Is that correct? I got the opposite impression from your post, which seems to imply that Twilio is hosted on AWS, yet managed to weather the storm because of your design decisions.

- markerdmann 15y agoAh, I see it now. I just got a POST from one of your servers in the AWS US-West region. Is Twilio also hosted in US-East (the region affected by today's outage), and, if so, would Twilio have stayed up if it hadn't been spread across multiple regions?
