KnowBe4 engineers have designed a cloud first highly scalable and resilient product architecture within AWS.
Performance of systems within our product architecture are monitored for key metrics to ensure that the load on any one system is within an acceptable range. Should any components become overloaded or experience a fault, automated processes will execute to bring online additional temporary systems or to cycle out existing systems for new ones.
Automation is built into the KnowBe4 architecture so system monitoring, updates, and corrective actions can take place as needed with no downtime. - Outage reporting
