Because the department is spread all over the globe, a team is always in the office, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

A: Our system includes multiple components, each with their own failsafe capabilities. Our cloud infrastructure has servers distributed in multiple zones to have zero data loss during outages in any geographical area, or due to high data transfers. In addition, our servers are designed to automatically scale based on the usage to avoid latencies and data loss. Data integrity is the key focus in our architecture and implementation to ensure our customers’ data is protected at all costs.

A: We use AWS Cognito. For all applications that don’t integrate with AWS Cognito, we encrypt passwords.
