We commented about the "queue to send to svix" in the post above.
> Deliverability to user endpoints (servers) is very different to deliverability to Svix. User endpoints fail all the time and for various reasons, and each of them can fail independently. This means developers need a robust and scalable delivery system that can deal with failures on an ongoing basis. While with Svix, outages are rare, and are dealt with as incidents. The same way you would with SendGrid, Twilio and other API providers.
- notyourday 5y agoIt is not very difficult to have nearly no outages when the service has nearly no traffic.
- tasn 5y agoWhat makes you think we have nearly no traffic? Anyhow, this was not a comment about our uptime against any particular service, but rather how our uptime against the collective (so how often any of those fail) - because that's what matters here. Though there's definitely a big difference in uptime between a service that has SLAs and random user-endpoints that don't necessarily promise the same.
