Unplanned? Probably. But maybe it's not as a dire as you think? Azure Active Directory (auth as a service) went down for a while, globally, and life went on. Same with GCP and occasionally AWS[1]
I'm not saying there's no downside, I'm asking against the downside of engineering cost. And that itself carries risk of failure when you go live. It's not guaranteed.
[1] AWS is so ubiquitous though, that half the internet would be affected so it makes it less individually noticeable.
- dividedbyzero 5y agoSo don't host on AWS, wait out their next big outage and then take down your app for that big migration, so you can hide among all the other dead apps. Half joking, of course.
- silviogutierrez 5y agoThat's brilliant. Have the PR ready to go and merge/deploy only when that happens. Just host on us-east1 and it'll happen eventually.
