What happened yesterday?
For those not aware of recent events, Mark Zuckerberg’s social media – including Instagram, WhatsApp e Facebook – suddenly have stopped working at about 17:00 yesterday afternoon. The application managers immediately told the public that they were aware of the problem and that they had already mobilized to resolve it.
However, those responsible have solved the problem after seven hours, more for other users. As mentioned earlier, the only platforms immune to the global down were Twitter e Telegram, which have seen a boom in users connected to their applications.
According to Facebook’s vice president of infrastructure, Santosh Janardhan, the total blocking of social media and the messaging app was caused by some changes to router configuration which manage the network traffic between the various data centers.
“This disruption in network traffic has had a cascading effect on how our data centers communicate and has blocked our services,” Janardhan said.
Now social networks are working again but many users are still not satisfied. This isn’t the first time apps go down or show problems. Given Facebook and Instagram’s latest woes with the Wall Streer Journal, a similar global down was the last thing Zuckerberg needed.
