In the 14 years of using reddit (unfortunately obsessively), I have rarely experienced downtime. From redditstatus.com I see that there have been no failures for the previous 90 days, except for yesterday. I'm wondering what has been your experience with the site.
And, on what basis are you being so extraordinarily dismissive of their technical capabilities? I have engineered many large-scale systems in my life (not at reddit scale), and I know that it takes some serious engineering and operational smarts to keep such a system alive.
- stuck_in_the_ma 5y agoWhen you run websites / APIs, nobody remembers the months of time stretch while your site was up -- they just remember the hour of downtime when you go down. My site only handles ~ 350 million requests a month but even at that small scale, it's very tough.
- sriram_malhar 5y agoRight, but the GP seemed to indicate that reddit outages are a common enough occurrence i their experience to declare them chowderheads, and I was skeptical about the stated downtime. Neither my experience nor reddit's own stats corroborate what they are saying.
