Oh boy. I wouldn’t wanna be the people doing this. Working with infrastructure is hard. Doing it under tight SLAs? Ugh. I really hope the people working on this are being well supported.

You wouldn't necessarily know this from the outside, but we have _exceptional_ internal support when things go sideways. This is relatively new, up until about two months ago most incidents were run by 1.5 people. We had 7 people working this one today.

I don't really know him, but from what I can tell, https://github.com/wjordan is at least equivalent to 2.0 people.

1. fly.io SLA only covers users on the Enterprise plan

2. The SLA fly.io has commits to 99.9% uptime, meaning they can "afford" ~1.5m downtime daily, or ~40m monthly. AWS "offers" 99.99% (~4m monthly) if I recall correctly, but their scale is also wildly different obviously.
