Downtime. It's not in our dictionary and it shouldn't belong in yours. Consider every day millions of bits of information flows through our pipes to our servers. Every day millions of users peruse our customers' forums, blogs, online stores, even CRM applications critical to business function.

It's a huge responsibility to bear on our shoulders, but it's why we conduct such stringent monitoring rules. It's why we utilize multiple points of monitoring, both internally and externally. It's why we are able to hold ourselves accountable for internal failures. Failure doesn't happen internally with Apis.

Failure occurs at our network backbone. Failure happens the moment a massive distributed denial of service attack is launched, before our engineers can mitigate the activity. Failure doesn't have to result in a server crash. Likewise, simply landing on the front page of news aggregates like Digg or Slashdot shouldn't cause a crash.

We plan ahead. You should too.
