Amazon Web Services (AWS) experienced a major outage on Monday October 20th, 2025, causing temporary chaos across the internet. Big names like Alexa, Slack, Fortnite, Snapchat, Brightcove and many other platforms faced service disruption as a result. While millions of users struggled to reconnect, KWIKmotion kept streaming and delivering without a glitch. Here’s how our architecture made it possible:
KWIKmotion, is designed around dual infrastructure, powered by both AWS and Akamai.
In simple terms, this means that every piece of content on KWIKmotion is backed by two independent delivery systems. If one goes down, the other automatically takes over, instantly. No waiting. No manual switching. No downtime.
Dual Infrastructure. Full Redundancy. High Availability.
These aren’t just buzzwords. They’re the foundation of how KWIKmotion ensures uninterrupted content delivery for broadcasters, OTT providers, and media companies.
Dual infrastructure (AWS + Akamai): We combine the scalability of AWS with the global edge performance of Akamai.
Automatic failover: Our system monitors performance in real time and auto-switches when it detects any degradation.
Full redundancy: Every core service has a backup ensuring there’s never a single point of failure.
High availability: Our distributed architecture always keeps content accessible.
For any media platform, downtime isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a business risk. Every second of disruption means lost viewers, missed ad revenue, and damaged trust.
We invest in multi-cloud infrastructure and continuous monitoring, so our clients don’t have to worry about technical interruptions.
The recent AWS outage was a wake-up call for many companies, but for us, it was proof that our architecture works exactly as intended.
