If your site goes down while everyone else's goes down, it's weirdly forgivable.
And being the only one up doesn't win as many market cred points and you'd think.
- Spooky23 5y agoExactly. Often people want the perception of reliability. For many services, it makes more sense to make it reliable than not. For other services, it makes more sense to think about the engineering of the solution in the field. Example: McDonald’s product images on kiosks are apparently in S3 and not cached locally. Seems like a dumb idea to me, but I wouldn’t try to build a more reliable cloud storage backend to control that risk.
