I agree with this advice, however I would sincerely hope that it doesn't take reviewing your stats at the end of the day to notice that your ecommerce engine is down! Monitoring should be in place to achieve this.

- aneesh 17y agoTrue story I heard from some Amazon engineers. Amazon doesn't (directly) monitor whether their servers are up. They just look at the revenue graph in real-time, and if there's a noticeable dip, something's wrong.
- apu 17y agoRight, although they don't have to manually look at this -- they have many sophisticated monitors in place that immediately notify engineers if things are not in normal ranges.
