Or you could author software and systems that aren't so brittle that the loss of a single machine is problematic for you. Seriously, your engineering practices need some love if this is a problem.
- 0xmohit 10y agoI fail to understand such arguments. Does that imply that every single webpage in the world needs to be behind a load balancer with unwarranted amounts of redundancy in place? And if one doesn't do that, it's ok if the site is down.
- josephmx 10y agoIf redundancy is unwarranted, then the site can't possibly be mission critical?
- PeterisP 10y agoWell, yes, that's exactly the point - a single site without redundancy does mean that you will get some hours of downtime every now and then; either it's ok if the site is down for such time, or extra redundancy is actually warranted.
