Yes, this is beta SW and you should expect it to be less reliable. But let’s think a bit about how to test such a complex application.
Existing SW testing tools give you plenty of features to verify how the app behaves in a TEST environment and under synthetic conditions.
But what about the behavior in a REAL environment? How do you know what is the NORMAL app behavior in a production environment? How to determine it behaves abnormally and do something about it before users are impacted?
Lastly, how to learn from past failures and apply it the next time you roll a new rev? How to compare the before and after behavior? Till these questions are answered, app development and especially rolling out new revs to production will include elements of guess and prayer.
The solution is to use the app behavior in a REAL environment as a baseline to make predictive decisions and to create before-and-after scenarios that tell the app developers what is really happening.

This is just beta and what you would expect – hey Amazon took nearly a year before they fellover and people were really relying on them by that stage.
Let’s hope that this means the big problems are found out during the beta phase!

Swaroop CH raises an interesting point. There may be a trend story in here, Michael. Google has been having some problems with Google Docs uptime too. Not major. Not unacceptable. But noticeable. And we’re actually paying to use that service. Maybe its no biggie but Google has been making some very aggressive statements about downtime in comparison to enterprise expectations lately. While its true Google Search is literally always available, GOOG has some way to go before it can claim similar QoS across the portfolio.
