Backup strategy? What do you mean by that?
- seethishat 1y agoServers go down. What is the plan to get them "backup" and running ;)
- fabian2k 1y agoThey probably don't need one for the application servers. And they probably already have a backup strategy for their DBs.
- stackskipton 1y agoMost server outages are caused by hardware failures which EC2 MOSTLY abstracts from you. Also, if it's just Golang, point Ansible or whatever deploys at new server and trigger a deploy.
- wltr 1y agoBut is this not needed with the so-called cloud systems?
- hunterpayne 1y agoOnly if that system is stateless. If you have any sort of internal memory that sticks around between requests, then either you face a cold start problem (because of empty caches) or you somehow need to persist that state somewhere. And persisting that state either means you need a backup solution or your latency is terrible because you are hitting network for something that only needs to hit RAM.
