McRib is a hilarious name for a service

I certainly wouldn't trust it's availability.

(The original McDonald's McRib sandwich is well known for only being sold a limited time.)

So "Mcrouter" comes from Memcache-Router, then the obvious McDonalds jokes are made and someone cleverly suggests "Mcrib" for the next service. But I can't think what the backronym would be for it. Memcache Ring Buffer maybe. Or Broker.

An over communication platform should have scheduled outages like this regularly!

This sort of handwavy conspiracy thinking is distressingly common. What basis do you have for your suspicion? Is it just “big company bad”?
