New S3 Bucket & More Entropy in File Names

On the 1st of February 2018 we’ll be making 2 changes to our platform:

  1. We’ll be switching to a new EU based S3 bucket named
    eu1-addpipe.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
    located in Frankfurt. We’re doing this to consolidate our existing infrastructure in the EU as we’re preparing to open new recording, processing and storing regions in US, Canada and Asia.

A few notes:

  • If you’re not storing videos with us (Do Not Store is on) this change will not affect you
  • Our webhooks will send the correct url and snapshotUrl values
  • The JS Event APIs will send the correct value for the location parameter
  • Existing videos will remain on the oiriginal S3 bucket (
    addpipevideos.s3.amazonaws.com
    )
  1. We’ll also be adding more entropy to file names by using a random 32 characters string followed by the extension for both the video and snapshot file names.
