Delightfully hardcore indeed!
But of course you don't have to buy a rack of servers for testing, you can rent it. Servers are a quickly depreciating asset, why invest in them?
- a_t48 2y agoYou'd want it to be the exact same hardware as in production, for one.
- CyberDildonics 2y agoWhy would replaying data for testing be "Delightfully hardcore indeed!". That's how people program in general, they run the same data through their program. Servers are a quickly depreciating asset, why invest in them? I don't think they are a quickly depreciating asset compared to the price of renting, but you would want total control over them in this scenario anyway.
- nine_k 2y agoI thought that the hardcore part is taking the data from the switch to account for the network latency.
