- jeffrallen 5y agoYes, it's amazing how much one modern high spec system running good code can do. Turn off all the distributed crap and just use a pair in leader/follower config with short ttl DNS to choose the leader and manual failover scripts. If your app/company/industry cannot accept the compromises from such a simple config, quit and work in one which can.
- BatteryMountain 5y agoGood code? Where? This whole thread feels like therapy since I face the same monsters on the systems I work on. Partly due to bad platform & code, partly due to bad organization structure (Conway's 100% for us). My pet projects at home is the only thing keeping me sane, mostly because they are simple.
