I completely agreed with you until I had kids and then the opposite was true. I don’t think either option is good or bad- just different trade offs.

Every single comment here is about the name “serverless”. Can’t actually think of a better bikeshed example than this.

If you want to understand the impact of an S3 outage (or many other kinds) ahead of time, Gremlin (http://gremlininc.com) has built a tool to run these scenarios on your infrastructure.

Happy to answer any questions about the tool, either here or over email.

(Disclaimer: I work for Gremlin)

I'm interested in the distinction you draw between shipping and finishing. Care to elaborate on what that meant in a Google context?

For any poker players out there, this is analogous to the Texas holdem preflop matchups JTs, 22, AKo.

AKo > JTs : http://twodimes.net/poker/?g=h&b=&d=&h=Ah+Kd%0D%...

JTs > 22 : http://twodimes.net/poker/?g=h&b=&d=&h=2h+2d%0D%...

22 > AKo : http://twodimes.net/poker/?g=h&b=&d=&h=2d+2h%0D%...
