And I thought zero-downtime web app deployments were stressful... this really puts stuff into perspective.

It's embarrassing that web apps have has much downtime as they do given the processing power they are given.

It actually makes sense given the economics of the situation: time invested in high availability is a poorer use of resources than, say, adding features for most web sites.

We can make web sites that stay up, always. It's just that it costs a lot more and / or they do less.
