This sounds suspiciously similar to where I used to work, and was one of the reasons I left. Every project required working with 3-5 other teams for either help or 'alignment' (aka approval). Getting a new service live required ma

This is fascinating. I am curious how sites like this (and others such as Pingdom, 'up time' checkers, etc) handle scheduled tasks that have to run at high frequencies? Cron on one machine? Celery beat?
