Hosting & security

FosterX gives us the ability to see what types of campaigns are working in real time, as well as the ability to adjust appropriately. I don’t think we’ve ever had a tool that’s been able to so quickly provide us with feedback..

In business since 2010, FosterX Social has more than 30,000 paying customers who trust us to help them manage many millions of daily conversations. Our technology is designed and stewarded with our customers and their audiences, hundreds of millions strong, in mind. We work daily to build lasting relationships through a culture of customer success and support.

Reliability & availability

FosterX Social strives to minimize service impacts and downtime. We design our systems for fault tolerance, and our teams are trained for rapid incident recovery. It is in our ethos to avoid downtime at all costs, unplanned or planned. We never impose maintenance downtime if it is avoidable—because it usually is. Elements of business continuity and disaster recovery are woven into our practices and our systems. They are not an afterthought, or a task relegated to a single team.

A proven track-record

99.99% uptime is a key performance indicator (KPI) for our Engineering group. At the time of writing, we had higher than 99.95% uptime over the prior 6 and 12 months.

Transparency to customers

FosterX Social reviews the security posture of our critical third party product and service providers on a regular basis. FosterX Social's subprocessors are contractually required to adhere to an established set of security measures that align with industry best practices.

Social media feeds

Our data ingest layer combines multiple connections to social network APIs. As partners, social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn provide us with higher levels of redundancy and access to their support teams.

Backups

Backups are taken frequently, encrypted in transit and at rest, and are tested regularly. Backups are kept "off-site" in Amazon S3 which stores files on multiple physical devices in multiple facilities offering 99.999999999% durability and 99.99% availability.

Transparency to our teams

Internally we practice multidisciplinary, blameless post-mortem analysis, and seek to grow our people, procedures, and systems in the aftermath of failure. Fear is the enemy of progress.

Isolation

Our highly distributed backend platform employs isolation design patterns to mitigate risks across components. Failures of one component rarely affect other components.

Recovery point objectives (RPOs)

Recovery strategies are designed to provide up-to-date RPOs at low Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs), with older data recovered against longer RTOs. This is consistent with customer expectations in Social Media, allowing customers to meet the immediate needs of their customers.
