I setup a lot of Uber's early metrics infrastructure, so I can speak to how they got to the place where building a custom solution was the right answer. In the beginning, we didn't really have metrics, we had logs. Lots of logs. W

Agreed, Ada's documentation is sparse and hard to find. Unfortunately, the best resource I've found for learning it from the ground up is the textbook "Programming in Ada 2012" by John Barnes. It's a bit pricey, but

CPU hotplug has been supported for a long time. I once managed some Sun boxes that allowed replacing/upgrading CPUs without shutting down... They don't build em like that anymore.

This is all good advice for the app tier, but in my experience the most painful outages relate to the data store. Understand your read/write volume, have a plan for scaling up/out, implement caching wherever practical, and have ba

Offline C programming on OpenBSD is still pretty comfortable due to the excellent manpages. It helps that you can get source for the userspace and kernel in a single CVS checkout.

I'm concerned by the increasing frequency of these events that span multiple regions. I always thought regions were supposed to be entirely isolated failure domains.

Yeah, I've got all of the Backblaze data in BigQuery and can JOIN it with the diskprices data... It's only marginally useful as Backblaze only uses a small number of drive models and Amazon's pricing for them isn't great

They added new "efficiency guidelines" that require you to make at least one sale a month or the account gets dropped. This hasn't been a problem for me, but definitely adds a barrier to entry that wasn't there when I st
