Hi fellow Bubblers!
I wasn’t sure if this is already a topic elsewhere, but I get the impression that the reliability of the Bubble servers is degrading. At first I thought, it might have been just something that ‘feels’ like a degrading service, but looking at the numbers, I think there’s more at hand?
It suffices to compare the historical uptime of the last 3 months (which just seem to light up like a 
tree), with the same 3 months a year ago:
I’ve worked in IT for the past 10 years, none of the other services I’ve dealt with in the past have such high downtimes. “Less than 1%” might sound “not so bad”, but keep in mind that Bubble is being used for a broad spectrum of apps. If you take a few hours of downtime or degraded performance to a context where you have a busy clothing store where the registry isn’t working during peak hours for that long, or your operations heavily rely on the app you’ve built in Bubble, these hours can cost you a lot.
We’ve heard Bubble talk about moving towards a multi-cluster architecture (which would also allow them to have European servers - but that’s another topic I guess). So what’s stopping them from adding new clusters to achieve a higher availability?
As an agency, working for multiple clients who heavily rely on their service (including a number of start-ups), we’re the ones getting to deal with the ‘shit’. As an agency, we also don’t get paid for convincing clients to start using Bubble, but it’s getting harder to push Bubble if there’s zero guarantees with regards to the uptime or SLA.
Anyone else dealing with this? Are we the only ones that are making a point out of this? Or am I missing something crucial here?
