Every image you hover over isnt just a visual placeholder; its a critical data point that fuels our sophisticated personalization engine. This approach ensures high availability by isolating regions, so if one becomes degraded, others remain unaffected, allowing traffic to be shifted between regions to maintain service continuity.
