It would not be reasonable for a commercial operation that makes money every minute around the clock. But they also need to build their systems differently to avoid downtime for reasons such as these. For a non-commercial organization, it can be different. It all depends on the value and cost of uptime/downtime.
- Symbiote 6y agoThere are even commercial operations who can have scheduled downtime. Last time I wanted to check on my savings account, the bank was doing maintenance all Sunday.
- mongol 6y agoYes where I work (large ecommerce site), there is scheduled downtime once in a while. Not ideal if course, but continuous unlimited uptime at scale is not trivial.
