For the real use cases for the fancy clustering solution, the benefits can be huge... and complicated things built with failure in mind actually fail in quite simple ways. DGit is an example in itself. Sure it heavily leverages the complexity of git's versioning/branching/distributed vcs mechanism to get the job done, but compared to a SAN or RAID + DRBD, the failure scenarios are much more straightforward to deal with.
- viraptor 11y agoI agree. As long as you have people who can build it tailored to the service and handling all the errors. GH can afford doing that almost from scratch. Or if you're sure that this is exactly the solution you need and are familiar with the failure scenarios. But from what I've seen in a few places, a lot of people jump to cluster solutions without either a real need or enough people to support it.
