If you design a system that could cause significant personal harm or a meaningful degradation of quality of life for someone due to cloud provider downtime, you're just a bad engineer. There's no such thing as a data center that's failure-proof. If someone's well-being depends on a system, it's simply negligent to be intolerant of failure conditions.
- sunnybeetroot 3y agoI agree, there are many terrible systems around the world with terrible implementations that at best cause inconvenience to people and at worst lead to a loss of life. My point is if you are faced with a data loss you make a call that assesses the impact of downtime and don’t follow a blanket rule.
