> Same here CALL ROBINHOOD ASAP. I spoke with them myself and they are aware. IF YOU NEED TO MAKE TRADES THEY CAN DO IT FOR YOU!
I didn't even know they had a phone number you could call. This should have been emailed out after the first hour of the outage. Or, how about you have a better system down page then just a blank website? If API health checks fail, serve a static site from S3 (route53 can do this). The ops failure of a company that can afford to pay quality DevOps engineers $200-300k a year is beyond belief.
Simple as:
"We are experiencing a technical outage... <corporate blah blah blah here>. If you need to make trades, please do so via phone at 1-800-SHORT-RH"
Additionally, if you’re a conspiracy theorist — and who isn't, in this wild 2020 ride — Robinhood was down exactly four years ago today, too, lol
