Because this shit is really hard especially when you're trying to build a product at the same time.
It's not like you can just wake up one day and say "I'm gonna go build a fully fault tolerant distributed system that works across multiple data centers!" and then you're done by the time you go to sleep.
Go actually talk to some Netflix engineers. They'll tell you the same thing.
- zeeg 14y agoThat's my point exactly. Everyone relies entirely (almost) on EC2 for mission critical business, and then they're left there with no outs as soon as a big outage occurs.

- arohner 14y agoYes, you're absolutely right. However, Netflix is distributed across multiple AZ, while Heroku has spent the last two years after their $212MM acquisition in the same AZ. That makes it sound like Netflix has a more reliable platform than the PaaS company.
