Signal is experiencing technical difficulties
Genuine question - why not distribute over a) multiple AWS regions and b) distribute over multiple providers so that 'small' outages dont take down apps like this?

I always thought they did distribute among AWS, Azure, Cloudflare and GCP as the output from running their domains on runson.cloud seems to suggest.
But after this outage, clearly not.

Perhaps someone out there with skills could make a cloud of clouds to make implementing such a thing easier.

Hmm. Some sort of distributed or dectraslised kind of architecture might be worth exploring. What a novel idea! :D
