Reminds me of when I was working at a startup we DOSed ourselves. We had devices that monitored power minute by minute. A load balancer was mis configured and we went down for a some hours. We came back up and the devices all saw that and flooded us with all the data they’d been storing since we were down.. down again… bring it up and down again…. we needed a better fix. I was up till 2 am with the other developer coding a fix.. the next morning we talked to the CEO (CTO was on vacation)who told us upgrading the was database was going to be too expensive… good times. We did get a firmware fix ( to be honest we were running out of cash..) I can’t imagine trying to restart something as big as facebook…
