> A key value at Roblox is “Respect the Community,” Yet they still take a 30% cut on all transactions that go to content creators / developers
Why are these things not mutually exclusive?
My heart goes out to the people who likely had to work crazy hours to fix this, but it really is wild that it was down for so long. What was the last service of this size that was down for 4 days? That is a failure in architecture that goes way beyond whatever the specific cause was here. That post-mortem is going to be a doozy.

That high percentage doesn’t mean they do or do not respect the community. Saying this as someone who doesn’t know much about Roblox but does give 15-30% to Apple and Google. Google definitely doesn’t respect their developers. Apple kind of does.
Apple and Google also disrespect their developer communities, probably more than any companies out there. Anything over 5% is ridiculous and was seen as such originally before Google and Apple made this the norm.

As someone not familiar with HashiCorp's products, could you give a super high level overview of what consul, vault and nomad are?
Consul is a service mesh. It’s your dynamic service discovery and routing layer. You have systems dynamically allocated in a cluster, they need to reach other systems, you ask consul where they are. Vault is secrets and management. Put secret strings in, get secret strings out (if permitted). Most apps need secrets of some type, and vault is normally discovered via consul. Nomad is an application/workload scheduler.…
How does this differ from DNS?

Anything over 5% is highway robbery and the kind of thing that only exists in concerningly unregulated capitalism. I promise you someday legislation will put an actual legal limit there. Just wait for these zoomers to reach voting age.
15 or 20% is probably a good middle ground
My 3 youngest kids, aged 9, 9, and 8 told me Roblix were having an extended outage, world wide. Good job to the team getting everything back up. Been there, done that. #hugops

Ah yes, 50.

Roblox has to start taking infrastructure a lot more seriously than they have so far.

The last outage of this kind I can even remember is the summer PSN was down for like, a month?
