Update about the October 4th outage
Knowing almost nothing about networking, isn't the way Facebook handles networking somewhat of a monolithic anti-pattern? Why is a single update responsible for taking out multiple services and why wouldn't each product or even each region within each product have their own routes, for resiliency which can then be used to rollout changes slower?By having a large centralized and monolithic system, aren't they guaranteeing that mistakes cause huge splash damage and don't separate concerns?
