Just curious: What server hardware was OW1 running on and what server hardware is OW2 running on? Did OW server hardware receive any significant upgrades in the last year? would love feedback from devs as there is a ton of conspiracy theories circling around
Blizzard adopted a Hybrid cloud solution many years ago. They are a big AWS customer.
Additionally, server hardware does not equal performance. What do you want? HPvsIBMvsCisco? Its all the same stuff. The problems you’re running into is DB scaling gone wrong.

Well, I largely agree with what you say here. the database comment is obviously spot on. I was not aware this is all running on AWS. One would think there is at least some discussion happening now in regard to moving to a Microsoft-based cloud solution when/if the acquisition is completed. Not that I am saying that will resolve current issues or have any impact on the scalability of the database issue.
