- chillacy 7y agoYea I was thinking that there is some sort of parallel to datacenters, where it's lowest latency to route everyone to their closest DC but in practice people usually route a certain percentage of traffic to standby datacenters which are farther away to make sure they're still working. You lose some efficiency but gain in resilience. Nowadays big internet companies have all sorts of Disaster Recovery plans.

- notyourday 7y ago> where it's lowest latency to route everyone to their closest DC but in practice people usually route a certain percentage of traffic to standby datacenters which are farther away to make sure they're still working. Are you keeping your own data center in addition to the AWS/GCP/Azure? Because that's the exact same premise.

- abathur 7y agoNo--just https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_engineering#Chaos_Monkey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_engineering#Chaos_Monkey But I can see how you came to that reading, and it did give me a chuckle.
