Forgive me if I'm wrong about this, but it would seem to me that the FAA NOTAM system had orders of magnitude more uptime than literally any product produced by so called "professional" "engineers" at big software companies.
- alfalfasprout 4y agoI think the point still stands but in a different way. The architecture was designed to be quite reliable.
- nfRfqX5n 4y agoAWS uptime is pretty insane
- barbazoo 4y agoAccording to their own status page, yes
- ILike42Cookies 4y agoyes, some part of aws somewhere is always online. fully functional? 7.12.2021 alone was enough to kill that statement for the next few years.
- discussDev 4y agoIf it wasn't then who built it? Or is it the quotes we should focus on.
- bluGill 4y agoSure, but we do make intentional tradeoffs, at least sometimes.
- mardifoufs 4y agoMore than google.com? Maybe, but it's close. Also, I'd be surprised if those behind NOTAM were all "professional engineers" since software PEs are pretty rare, relatively speaking. Especially in the US.
- hbrn 4y agoYou're comparing database to a service. NOTAM is real-time, google.com is not. By that standard google.com is always down.
- strken 4y agoIt would seem to me that the FAA NOTAM system had professional engineers working on it to produce that uptime.
