This is the kind of answer our industry needs more of. Chuck Moore would approve.
Q: "How will it handle scaling to millions of users?"
A: "By crashing. But it will handle 100s or maybe even 1000s, and you currently have 3, so chill."
- pier25 3y agoIt's not about scalability but about reliability. If your 3 users cannot read your blog then good luck getting to 10 users.
- rantallion 3y agoYour 3 users are probably okay with 99% uptime. No need to sweat over 5 9's for a hobbyist/personal site.
- hoosieree 3y agoFive nines, huh? We've got six eights over here!
- bombcar 3y agoIf your three friends cannot reach you 24/7 good luck getting to 10 friends. We need less reliable systems, not more.
- causality0 3y agoSo are you saying the mobile network you use is absolutely terrible and you have a signal less than 99% of the time, or are you saying that if a blog you read fails to load one out of a hundred times you visit you stop reading it?
- pier25 3y agoYeah my mobile network is less than 99% reliable. But there are other factors such as battery dying or just dropping the phone. I mean, that's why a mobile phone is being used, no? Because otherwise, a Raspberry Pi would suffice and would be cheaper and more reliable.
- causality0 3y agoYeah my mobile network is less than 99% reliable. No signal for more than fifteen minutes every day? That must be frustrating. But there are other factors such as battery dying or just dropping the phone. Neither of these has happened to me. If they did, the uptime of my personal blog would be a much lower priority than fixing that problem. It's a blog, not a business.
