Wasn't there a failover or some redundency from Fastly in place during this outage?

They are the project owners, no shit they would care, To everyone else outside of the project, so what? Seems like you also care a big deal about these GitHub stars for someone who doesn't like…

my point is, who cares? if they like it so what?

I get your point, but it doesn't look like this project would be ignored for some time, though it also makes some sense to market some features of the language with some demos, UI, GL and even an…

Is V still vapourware in your opinion since you made your posts? Seems to have improved significantly since then.

Imagine caring about a projects organic growth from GitHub stars from China lol. The simplest explanation is that maybe they 'like' the project?

Not the point. They were also told that a failover system would kick in and re-route traffic had there been any issues, but this was where to be seen. A worldwide outage happened that affected almos…

The main problem is that they had a failover system, the mystery is where was it in this outage? Why didn't this trigger? where was this system in place to prevent further cascading failures? >…

> you're being an ass and no one likes you or what you have to say because you're wrong. So go scurry back to reddit where you belong troll... Okay? some proof please? This is not far off…

> pretty certain this is not how Netflix's culture is. > pReTtY CeRtAiN This, the wording in of itself shows you have absolutely no clue whatsoever at all of Netflix's culture.

> We don't know... So, the rarest of cases (our network isn’t serving traffic) just happened right now, and their failover system just took a snooze then, but 'it exists apparently&#x…

> You can say you don't care for reality, but it's not going to help you have better systems. No where in my sentence I said this so quit the strawman argument. I know a client using a se…

It's not me you should be telling this to though, if you know someone at Fastly, perhaps you should reminding them that. I expect huge clients to be knocking on Fastly's door lining up for a…

So why didn't the 'automatic failover' kick in during the outage? Where was it then? I don't see anything about 're-routing traffic' anywhere in the status page [0] [0] …

> What's your SLA with them? Sorry what? You've just witnessed almost the entire internet break because of a catastrophic cascading outage that affected lots of huge companies, since thir…

Even when they said this was a rare [0] case, they knew this case should be handled, but didn't handle it. > or in the extremely rare case our network isn’t serving traffic. reports also cam…

> I suspect you'll have trouble convincing a forum of primarily engineers that a high frequency trader is more worthy of sympathy than an engineer. At least HFT traders don't get paid to …

billions lost either way regardless of how you interpret it, and I expect Fastly to have a good reason as to why these popular clients and websites should continue paying for this CDN service. I loo…

Not my problem. Fastly should work as intended. The fault is theirs and they have said that they have failover, this worldwide outage caused by them just goes to show you that Fastly does not actually…

Well, while engineers are getting paid $100K/yr to post #HugOps, I know someone in HFT and their dashboard uses the Fastly service, so this has had a huge impact on them for sure. Flag and downvo…

Edit: So the truth is also getting flagged here. unbelievable.

> Do a post-mortem, work out root causes, work as a unit to ensure this doesn't happen again. And if this happens again? They advertised they had failover and mitigations for this in the RARES…

This sort of culture worked at Netflix. Did they go down today?

> People need to be blamed, and responsibility for actions taken (without covering asses) This. When people talk about "HugOps", "empathy" and all that when a worldwide incident…

So you're saying companies losing huge ad budgets for an hour across all these websites, traders not being able to place trades, withdraw funds or close their positions from their trading account…

Who is talking about a 'website'? The Fastly CDN is their main product no? I hope you're not suggesting these companies Shopify, Pinterest, Etsy, Paypal, Stripe, Coinbase etc didn'…
