Also running on single VM in a GCP zone is a disaster waiting to happen.
- stavros 5y agoWhy? I've been running services on single instances for 13 years and it's been ok. Not everything has to be webscale.
- justinholmes 5y agoIt's not about being webscale it's about being professional.
- stavros 5y agoIt's not professionalism to increase the cost of your service regardless of your needs. Maybe 99.99% is good enough for the OP's price point, and if I want five nines I'll pay for Zendesk.
- chrismorgan 5y agoIn this sort of situation, using multiple servers is likely to reduce reliability. Needless complexity is not a good thing. Making a system distributed has a real cost.
