So you are saying that if you are a solo founder and you have designed in redundancy then it's all good to take a holiday and not monitor anything?

- wongarsu 6y agoNo, you design a system that doesn't go down while you are on holiday, but with monitoring for the unlikely case that it does
- ozim 6y agoI see you got some down votes but I see your question more as a helpful inquiry. Idea is that you don't have to monitor anything actively. You still have your phone and email in case something goes wrong. But you are not franticly checking dashboards if response time is slower for 0.05 second in actual moment. What parent is saying if you have normal operations most of the time everything will be OK. Despite all of the "spooky stories" software and servers are mostly reliable and you probably don't need that much redundancy that people who sell magic solutions would like you to believe. If you look at statistics even for google, most of the downtime is when someone is changing something on the servers. When you are a single founder and you are having a diner and not changing config of your servers or deploying new software 95% of reasons for server going down are off the table.
