This makes me wonder where the threads (beyond server scaling) around resiliency on HN are. I'm doing some non-critical embedded programming at the moment (typically do full stack stuff), but embedded and critical systems are much different than the typical audience here....

That's why there isn't as much of that kind of thing. That said, I love to read about embedded stuff, because some of those guys are really sharp. I'm also a user and fan of Erlang.
