- jrockway 4y agoI guess I've accepted that it's something intrinsic to the software that's going to make it fail. Bad config push, bad packet segfaults the packet inspection software, etc. (Yup, people still write parsers for untrusted user input in C, and don't fuzz it. That's the state of the industry.) In those cases, all of your replicas fail identically at the same time. For mere hardware failure, we seem to have moved past that as an industry. Cloud providers will "transparently" migrate your app to a new computer if the one you're running on blows up. (Transparently is in quotes because you'll see the P99.9 latency increase when it happens.)
