  @awscloud keeps charging me $60 a month. I can’t login to my account due to a deprecated email. Making support tickets goes nowhere. Anyone got advice on what to do?

  @TheRavenHelm man... are you detective seeds right? this is a new profile name ? whatever.. the "digital only direction" was announced more than 3 weeks ago.. not last week.. PSN servers are hosted by Amazon AWS, and amazon AWS had some disruptions today, they already solved the issue.

  @AWSSupport Hey @AWSSupport any update on this? 8 Aug 2026: Issue opened 13 Aug 2026: Issue escalated to specialized team 18 Aug 2026: Still being investigated. Its 21 Aug 2026 now still no resolution or substantive update. Nearly 2 weeks for a service-access issue is frustrating experience

  @AWSSupport Yeah its just getting automated responses to everyone saying "Your account will not be re-opened. We regret that we have not been able to address your concerns to your satisfaction." so can you send the mturk team a message to review the error since its more then just me its

  @awscloud @AmazonHelp @amazon Yo, can any of yall explain why a review that gets flagged for "community guidelines" refuses to tell you what the issue is? Like yall's bot goes "it violates rules!" But cant tell me what part? It obviously had to note what the issue was...

  @amazon @awscloud @AmazonHelp why do I have to continually contact you on social media for issues with your service? Why is your customer service online “help” so bad? $5 credits for delayed orders for a service we pay for is horrible!

  @AWSSupport I keep getting errors across the AWS Console where components or resource lists fail to load, showing messages like “An error occurred calling the API: describeAddresses.” Reloading sometimes fixes it temporarily. can you help? It's mostly on EC2 related stuff. us-east-1

  I spent over $120 in @awscloud so far this month. Most of it has been on GPU instances and Xeon 6. This is the most I've spent since I've had a long-running VM as a web app server a few years ago.

  @AWSSupport Thanks for your response and I've been keeping track for any updates very closely but the problem is these cases are either unassigned and if they are, no one is following up. I'm at the point of just giving up entirely cuz it's pointless waiting endlessly.

  A good architecture starts by separating document storage, signing, identity verification, and notifications into independent services. 1. API Gateway All requests (upload, sign, download, share) pass through the API Gateway. It handles authentication, rate limiting, request validation, and routing. 2. Document Service Contracts are uploaded directly to object storage (Amazon S3/GCS/Azure Blob). Metadata such as owner, participants, document status, and version history is stored in PostgreSQL. Large files never pass through application servers. 3. Identity Verification Service Before signing, users verify their identity using email OTP, SMS OTP, OAuth, or KYC providers depending on compliance requirements. A verified identity token is issued before allowing signatures. 4. Signing Service Each signature request creates an immutable signing event. Documents are locked while applying a signature to prevent conflicts when multiple users sign simultaneously. Optimistic locking or version numbers help resolve concurrent updates. 5. Audit Log Service Every action upload, view, download, sign, reject, revoke is published to Kafka. Events are stored in an append-only audit database with timestamps, signer identity, IP address, and device information, creating a tamper-resistant audit trail. 6. Notification Service Kafka events trigger email, SMS, and push notifications asynchronously so users are notified instantly without slowing down API responses. 7. Security • Encrypt files at rest (AES-256) • TLS for data in transit • Short-lived signed URLs for downloads • RBAC for document access • Hash every signed document (SHA-256) to detect tampering • Store digital certificates securely using a KMS/HSM 8. Scalability Deploy services independently behind load balancers. Use Redis for caching document metadata and sessions. Object storage handles millions of documents, while Kafka decouples services and absorbs traffic spikes. Read replicas improve download performance, and multi-region replication ensures disaster recovery. This architecture provides secure storage, concurrent signing, legal compliance, high availability, and scales to millions of contracts worldwide.

  Day 1 : "How to Scale an App to 10 Million Users on AWS" If I have to design a system for 10 million users, I won't build everything on Day 1 because it will add unnecessary complexity and cost. I'll start simple with one application server and one database. As traffic grows, if the server starts reaching its CPU, memory, or storage limits, I'll first scale vertically by moving to a bigger instance. Once that is not enough, I'll separate the backend and database so both can scale independently. To avoid a single point of failure, I'll deploy the application across multiple Availability Zones and put a Load Balancer in front so if one server or AZ goes down, traffic is automatically routed to healthy servers. As the number of users keeps increasing, I'll make my application stateless by storing sessions in Redis. This allows me to add multiple application servers behind the Load Balancer and scale horizontally. If my database starts getting overloaded with reads, I'll use Redis to cache frequently accessed data and add read replicas to distribute read traffic. For static assets like images, CSS, and JavaScript, I'll store them in Amazon S3 and serve them through CloudFront so requests don't keep hitting my application servers. If traffic suddenly spikes during sales or events, I'll enable Auto Scaling with CloudWatch metrics so AWS automatically adds or removes servers based on demand. As the application becomes larger, I'll split the monolith into microservices. This allows each service, like authentication, payments, or notifications, to scale independently instead of scaling the entire application. If the database becomes the bottleneck, especially for write operations, I'll use sharding or federation depending on the data and business requirements. Finally, when users are spread across the world, I'll deploy the application in multiple AWS Regions to reduce latency and improve availability. My approach is always the same: find the bottleneck, solve that bottleneck, and only introduce more complexity when the current architecture can no longer handle the traffic.

  @AWSSupport Either that or ask me to login, which I keep telling you I cannot login. It has nothing to do with 2FA. That is not the issue.

  @ZZiata15569 @awscloud I have billing and budget alerts set up with AWS already. Main problem with a lot of tools I’ve used is too much noise in the alerts vs AWS option. Still, I think every AWS customer gets at least 1 surprise lol… part of initiation (onboarding?)

  Self hosting your email server is something that Is very tricky and I still can't grasp till today. The craziest part is not the setup but managing the email server reputation. I rather pay @Cloudflare or @awscloud.

  The downfall of Storj Labs (bankruptcy): - launches Storj in 2014 to build a decentralised alternative to cloud storage - promises a blockchain based competitor to Amazon S3. - attracts thousands of node operators across the world - raises around $35 million in funding - secures roughly $30 million through its 2017 token sale - spends years building its decentralised storage network - the DePIN business model proves difficult to scale profitably 2021: - $STORJ reaches its all time high 2022–2025: - the token enters a prolonged decline - node operators report declining rewards and operational issues - Storj begins selling non-core assets and right sizing operations October 2025: - Inveniam Capital Partners acquires Storj Labs - the acquisition is expected to strengthen the company's future - financial pressures remain unresolved July 2026: - Storj Labs files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection - the company says legacy liabilities can no longer be outgrown - assets and liabilities are estimated between $1 million and $10 million > operations > customer services > the storage network continue running - Inveniam backs the restructuring process - Storj proposes a plan that could give STORJ token holders equity in the reorganised company - $STORJ falls another 14–15% after the bankruptcy announcement - the token is down roughly 99% from its 2021 all time high
