Disaster recovery. HackerRank will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the availability of service in the event of an unplanned outage. Load balancing and auto scaling have been configured throughout HackerRank’s technical stack. A content delivery network is used to deliver the solution to users around world in the most efficient manner possible.

HackerRank leverages a world-class hosting provider to support its production operations: Amazon Web Services (“AWS”). AWS maintains a SOC SSAE 16 report. HackerRank only leverages data centers that are located within the continental United States.
