CEO của Coinbase công bố kế hoạch giảm thời gian ngừng hoạt động sau sự cố gần đây

The Huoxing Finance report states that Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, posted on X that Coinbase experienced a service outage yesterday, which is completely unacceptable. The root cause was the simultaneous failure of multiple cooling units in an AWS data center, leading to overheating in one server room. Most of Coinbase’s systems are designed with redundancy to handle the failure of a single availability zone, and they operated normally last night. However, the centralized exchange was not spared, as its architecture was specially optimized for low latency and customer colocation, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve availability zone-level fault tolerance. Although making the exchange resilient to availability zone failures may introduce latency and disrupt customer colocation, the team will reevaluate these trade-offs to ensure that, when a switch between availability zones is necessary, the duration of downtime is significantly reduced. He expressed gratitude to the AWS and Coinbase teams who worked through the night to resolve the issue and pledged to release a detailed technical explanation soon.
