- rvz 5y agoBecause HN and those who use less or those who use backup services are smart and those who are caught now have to panic and wait. Probably going to short the hell out of $FSLY.
- morelikeborelax 5y agoOver one issue that highlights they have an abundance of top level customers? Interesting strategy when it's already at a low.
- rvz 5y agoOne issue that should have been mitigated at least by Fastly; worse if the client has to do it. They proudly stated this from their own website to their customers: > "Fastly’s network has built-in redundancies and automatic failover routing to ensure optimal performance and uptime." If that isn't one huge lie, I don't know what is.
- aliasEli 5y agoPlease don't call it a lie. It means that they knowingly presented something they knew to be false as the truth. So far I have seen no evidence to support that.
- southerntofu 5y agoIt is definitely a lie, but it's the same lie sold by all cloud offerings. Can you name a single cloud/CDN operator without downtimes? It's normal to have downtimes but they are usually scheduled and quick (think <10 minutes per month for rebooting and/or hardware parts replacement). I'm pretty sure most non-profit hosts like disroot.org or globenet.org have similar or better 9's than all these fancy cloud services.
- detaro 5y agoIt can have all these things and still fail, suggesting otherwise would be fairly naive.
