You know someone said that there will never be more than 100 requests per second in a meeting

Yup and you know what? That's exactly the kind of detail I don't need a government IT worker sweating over. They should just pay the premium to cloud providers and move on to more important things

I could not disagree more. Government already suffers a huge stigma of waste and overspending, no need to add to that stigma by overspending on checks notes a list of dad jokes.

That's not to say I'm not glad this exists - I am! But I don't think it deserves a large budget.

Ya you can tell a govt site when it falls over from a finger flick

Nah, the US govt is actually usually pretty good these days about solid infrastructure, website designs, security practices, etc.

It is unknown why this particular website (if it ever existed?) got hugged to death, but much of the Government uses AWS govcloud and similar solutions.
