This is a software development business, which is a positively bananas trade no matter what’s getting written. And the smaller the business, the more hats network guys wear. We work with everything from the server app down to the coffee machine fueling the devs. And 100% uptime isn’t the most crazy demand I’ve heard. I’m sure Chujo is busier than a one-armed paper hanger with jock itch.
At least he’s got money to throw at his hosting company. Scaling up would have been much slower in the old days.
I’m not versed in videogame network infrastructures, but wouldn’t be enough just having a load balancer and a couple of instances to ensure “100% uptime”? At least before all instances and the load balancer itself decide to join a suicidal pact, but more instances mean less chance of a critical event happening, no?
