- carlivar 9y agoTime allocated for this used to be a given. It's interesting how quickly we have moved to SaaS. Though if your internal IT team had a VCS outage, it wouldn't be Hacker News news. Really it is just the scope of the outages (and commiseration) that has changed.
- ben_jones 9y agoa) SaaS companies often have the resources / domain knowledge to provide a superior service to the self-hosted alternative b) Outages are inevitable and if you're using a SaaS you get to blame someone else for it (and sometimes it gets resolved quicker)
- carlivar 9y agoYeah, merely an observation, not a criticism of SaaS. However I do wonder sometimes, even with the resources and domain knowledge, if the super crazy scale these SaaS companies have to deal with tips the scales to be about the same reliability as a solid internal ops or IT team (who only have to worry about YOUR scale).
