Improved resilience with automatic regional failover

We’ve made significant improvements to Clerk’s infrastructure to better withstand outages and regional disruptions.

As part of our ongoing commitment to reliability and in response to the June 26th service outage, we’ve implemented automatic regional failover for critical parts of our system. This enhancement ensures that, in the event of a major disruption in one region, traffic is rerouted to healthy infrastructure in real time, without any manual intervention. This change reduces the risk of widespread service impact during provider-level incidents and brings us closer to our long-term goal of platform-level fault tolerance.

We’re not stopping here. We’re actively working on improving the resilience of stateful systems and are exploring strategies for increased redundancy across providers.

Our goal is simple: to keep Clerk highly available and dependable even when the unexpected happens.
