Even accounting for this outage, most other SAAS platforms still can't compete with HN's non-existent SLA.

Thank you to everyone who keeps this thing running.

8 hours of downtime in a given year is 99.9%, so only three nines. The major SaaS platforms all are basically at least as resilient as this, and most have more stringent SLAs.


Most SaaS platforms don't really measure it. They just "do their best".

Plus, it's hard to quantify many cases because there is hard-down and soft-down (partial interruptions).
