Comment on Reproducing the AWS Outage Race Condition with a Model Checkerparent

Comments

It’s more than one person at AWS now

yea its an entire group of people that have yet to stop the next outage

I'd like to see hard data on the outage rate of systems with and without their input

Its the classic problem that code firefighters get all the attention, but they were also soaking the structure down with gasoline before hand.

Meanwhile the people who took the extra effort to tackle particularly painful parallel systems remove some race conditions early in the design process and are seen to achieve nothing.

Kind of by definition, that's not exactly surprising, yeah?
