This idea sounds nice, but there's a high maintenance cost to this.

- How will you maintain multiple deployments across multiple regions in the world? Backups, security patches will start to take a toll. - How granular is the right split? Not every country has a cloud provider. Then you need to start thinking about regions and office timings and then it starts to get all blurry.


> How will you maintain multiple deployments across multiple regions in the world? Backups, security patches will start to take a toll

The same way as always - by automating the crap out of it.

> How granular is the right split? Not every country has a cloud provider.

Doesn't have to be one deployment for one country, does it? Having like 3 or 4 deployments across the globe already gives you (at least) 3-4 hours of inactivity window, let's say 1 am - 4 am or something.

Compensation for Full stack Lead Engineer?


You can load-balance between CDN vendors as well


With what? The only (sensible) way is DNS, but then your DNS provider is your SPOF. Amazon used to run 2 DNS providers (separate NS from 2 vendors for all of AWS), but when one failed, there was still a massive outage.


Then your load balancer becomes the single point of failure.


BGP Anycast will let you dynamically route traffic into multiple front-end load balancers - this is how GSLB is usually done.

Needs an ASN and a decent chunk of PI address space, though, so not exactly something a random startup will ever be likely to play with.


Then add a load balancer in front of your load balancer, duh. /s

If you're excited about building the OS for justice — let’s build together.


Just for my own understanding, could you clarify why you think "last write wins" is a recipe for disaster?


Because two simultaneous writes mean some change is just lost, without feedback to the writer.


Curious to know what other alternatives have you found better.


Zulip is vastly better for people who are willing to learn an interface. But it’s not really very “pretty”


Hah, its 'good enough', but really has some bizarre ui flows that make things so very, very confusing...


Hi! It'd be a huge help if you can stop by chat.zulip.org and share in #feedback what you find bizarre. Maybe we can fix them for you :)


We use Twist at my company. I find the emphasis on asynchronous communication refreshing. It encourages more thoughtful discussion. Basecamp also lends helpfully in this direction, although adopting Basecamp means accepting an entire project management system as well.


I found that the way Basecamp tries to achieve async communication is to make sync communication as painful as possible. Not a great experience.


> At the end of the day, it's all about calories.

No it's not. Calories is just a unit of energy. And there are good energy sources, and bad ones as well. It's not just one single factor that rules everything. Quality and variety of food matters a lot.
