Over a two-day period this past week, major social media platforms—Meta’s Facebook and Instagram, LinkedIn, and Discord—all experienced disruptions. In the same timeframe, Comcast was also impacted by an outage that affected access to specific services and applications.
Meta experienced issues with its log-in process, Discord navigated unexpectedly high load volumes, Comcast dealt with 100% packet loss in part of its backbone, and—the following day—LinkedIn worked its way through a backend issue.
These incidents each leave valuable reminders for NetOps teams as they seek to minimize downtime and assure exceptional digital experiences.
