What's the problem here? This is the 2nd time I recall a major outage in the last few months. How can they get something so wrong? Where's the resiliency and failover? What could possibly happen that causes such a system-wide failure?
Granted - I've never built or run any system on such a scale as Slack - but I think that I would have either 1. learned from past experience 2. built some anti-fragility into the thing...
- JoeAltmaier 9y agoEverybody thinks they have resiliency and failover. But like any software, until you try it, it doesn't work. It has to be debugged. And nobody is willing to put up entire data centers to try recovery from a system-wide failure. Especially not a startup company.
