You're saying a single server failure is going to to cost your business half a million dollars?
This was a server with local NVMe storage. The simplest thing to do would have been to just get rid of it, but we have quite a few free users with data they care about running on single node Postgres (because it's cheaper). It seemed like a better idea to recover this thing.
- CSSer 3y agoNo, it wouldn't, at least not given the contextual details of this situation because we wouldn't do that. Honestly there are parts of my above comment that hold but I admit in the moment that it was a bit impulsive of me because I hadn't yet learned all of the details necessary to make that judgment call. That number is right under slightly different circumstances if you're asking, but it sounds like you were trying to prove a point. If that's true, you succeeded. I learned a bit later that what they were calling a cluster was a single server and that's just... yeah.
