> Not necessary when your misery not-product-market-fit-yet website only gets 100 users. Just roll-the-f-out , let it break and fix later. Building the canary system is a huge overkill in the early stage.
Being a startup does not excuse this kind of cavalier attitude
- thetechlead 8y agoWhen you face life-or-death scenarios everyday as a startup founder. Not a single startup was killed by software bugs or design faults. Never. Many other things do.
- withhighprod 8y agoWell if you brew an engineering culture like this, it’s no good. When you get 10+ engineers, Code reviews and most best practices are needed. And honestly for a good startup you’ll need a few senior engineers who won’t like the way of roll the fk out.

- matharmin 8y agoIt actually does - having only 100 users means it's impossible to implement an effective canary system. It also means that your entire system being down affects way less people than an issue on the canary system at Google. You have way more important things to worry about in a startup than optimising uptime.
