Solana Stands Strong Amid AWS Outage
While many tech services stumbled during the recent AWS outage, Solana remained rock solid. According to a post-mortem shared by the Solana team, the blockchain saw no decline in throughput and even outperformed other major networks during the disruption. This performance has reignited discussions around Solana’s technical resilience and real-world scalability.
Amazon Web Services (AWS), a major infrastructure provider for much of the internet—including parts of the crypto ecosystem—experienced downtime that affected various platforms. Yet, Solana didn’t flinch.
No Impact on Performance
The post-mortem report highlights that Solana’s network maintained stable transaction throughput throughout the outage, despite some of its validators relying on AWS infrastructure. Thanks to a more decentralized validator set and recent infrastructure upgrades, the network remained operational and responsive during the entire incident.
Where other blockchains reported slower confirmation times or reduced availability, Solana continued to process thousands of transactions per second, unaffected by the AWS disruption. This came as a surprise to critics who have often questioned Solana’s ability to stay stable under stress.
A Boost for Solana’s Reputation
Solana’s ability to handle such an outage with zero downtime is a strong argument for its growing maturity as a Layer 1 solution. As the blockchain industry moves toward mass adoption, network reliability and uptime become key selling points. Solana’s performance during the AWS event could help restore confidence following past outages and congestion issues.
For developers and projects considering where to build next, this may be another reason to give Solana a second look.
