Ironically, in our case, our availability is very core to our business. In this exact scenario, if S3 would have blocked our processing pipeline because it was down, that means we couldn't have alerted users as reliably that they were in fact, having issues because of S3 being down as well. So in our case, this is massively important to us and worth any additional risk that may be introduced.
- IAmGraydon 10y agoAre you realizing that risk spread out over time is what creates your downtime average? So what you are saying is that your uptime is so important that it is worth additional downtime. It's an illogical statement.
- mattrobenolt 10y agoYou should actually read the blog post. We are strictly increasing availability in addition to S3's already amazing availability. Not adding another point of failure and assuming we're better. In fact, I literally assume I'm shitty, so I build defenses so my fuck ups don't cause any issues.
