Failures due to such irresponsibility should not be tolerated, either.
I appreciate that you are very committed to reliability. I also have worked on (telecom) billing systems. However, what are you suggesting here? Should all Twilio's customers find another provider? (Do you have a suggestion?) Should they just not use a service like Twilio's? Should Twilio quadruple their prices so they can throw up enough hardware to do all this in postgres? Should we all fly over to Sicily to protest outside antirez's house?
Incidentally, in the late '90s I sat in on a few sales efforts in which Lucent pushed their "Datablitz" in-memory database for mediation and billing of call records. So, it's not as though nothing similar to this has ever been done.
