I ran DNS servers, among other things, in the late 90s with better uptime than these "multi-DC/AZ/geo redundant" services everyone uses these days.

- topranks 5y agoWith all due respect, having also run auth DNS servers in the 90s, and seen the inside of Akamai’s CDN/DNS setup more recently, it isn’t remotely at the same level of scale or sophistication.
- throwawaysha 5y ago"Scale and sophistication" scale relatively with time. Those servers we ran were relatively at the same level of scale and sophistication for their time. The only differentiator here is uptime, which has gotten worse as time has gone on. Five 9s used to be the standard. Three 9s seems to be the new standard.
