I don't know about you, but the stuff I self-manage usually has worse uptime than SaaS products

- sofixa 3y agoReally depends on the "stuff". GitLab pretty much manages itself through their Helm and Omnibus installs.
- hospitalJail 3y agoDepends. Having our programs offline mean I can run them, even if the internet isnt working. Instead of getting 0 data from downtime, I can still get the data, run the programs, and give it to the person who needs it. If we are fully online, if the servers are down, we basically lose the entire time. Not to mention, I think 'uptime' is a pretty optimistic number, unusable slow service doesnt seem to hit any metrics I'm aware of.
- dijit 3y agoDoesn't matter if your uptime is 80% as long as that 20% of downtime is happening when nobody is working Additionally an 80% uptime architecture is really simple to maintain and restore and so on. Complexity increases exponentially the more 9's you add.
