dchia commented on Why Twitter didn’t go down: From a real Twitter SRE matthewtejo.substack.com/... · Posted by u/mtejo
Why do people assume that things would break so easily? I'm pretty sure Twitter (ex)team did tons of scalability testing with loads that are 10x or even 100x. Plus random 100x to 1000x spikes to account for breaking news. And all of these are done automatically, constantly, and consistently over the years.
Despite all the criticism, this remains one of the best threads on Twitter so far.

Can someone tell me what value does Pantone bring to the table? As a man-on-the-street I fail to understand what they are claiming for. Is this about the naming Pantone has given to a particular Hex Code?

"Pricing as Code" would be a better tagline I guess?

Not exclusive to GCP.
Backblaze has previously locked our account on a saturday.
They claim we were putting too much pressure on their cluster.
They could've locked the 1! token that was causing 90% of the load, but they locked the whole account which was used by 10 different apps for a veriety of purposes causing unecessary downtime in some production workloads.
Also the workload has been quite consistent for days/weeks, so they could've detected it earlier and/or address it in a better way.
If you are paying for the load/pressure, what's the problem?
Is there a PDF version of it?

I still go back to the article[0] on mental models by FS (Farnam Street) whenever I need a refresher. It is complete and to the point.
