8 Lives Cat
RevenueCat's Backup Server System
What is this?
If you've noticed network calls to 8-lives-cat.io in your app, don't worry, this is expected behavior.
This domain hosts RevenueCat's backup servers. When our primary infrastructure experiences issues, our SDK automatically and seamlessly switches to these backup servers to keep your app's subscription features running smoothly.
✨ Why "8 Lives Cat"?
You know how cats have nine lives?* Well, if you're seeing traffic to this domain, it means our primary servers (the cat) have temporarily lost one life.
But don't panic, there are still 8 lives left! Our backup system is here to keep things running while we sort out any issues with the main servers.
🔧 For Developers
This backup domain is yet another layer in our multi-layered approach to reliability, working alongside our Offline Entitlements and RC Fortress systems. It handles scenarios like:
- DNS propagation issues with our primary domain
- CDN or infrastructure outages
- Regional connectivity problems
The switch happens automatically and is completely transparent to your users. No action is required on your part.
