Isn't Tudum mostly a static site? It must be a great project to try out cool stuff on, with a near zero chance of that cool stuff making it to the main product and having a significant impact on customers. Most of the traffic probably comes from bots.

If you want to know if an application is running, implement health checks. I hope I never have to deal with the pattern suggested in this article in a production system.

Usually Google and FAANG outages in general are due to things that happen only at Google scale but this incident seems from a generic small/medium company with 30 engineers at most.
I've seen it happen at companies with 100s of engineers, some of them ex-FAANG, including ex-Googlers. The average FAANG engineer has a way more pedestrian work ethic than the FAANG engineers on HN want you to believe.

I've been there. The product guy needs the new feature enabled for everyone, and he needs it yesterday. Suggestions of feature flagging are ignored outright. The feature is then shipped for every user, and fun ensues.
