Great question: Google's homepage revenue is directly 1:1 matches to its uptime. Its user retention is also loosely tied to its uptime, as the value is mostly a replaceable commodity (is Bing worse? sure, but it has results). This leads to the organization investing huge amounts of time and money in ensuring its uptime. I can recall a single outage in the past several years. On the other hand, GitHub's revenue is mostly monthly/annual licensing and their have great stickiness as it's not trivial to migrate to an equivalent service provider (excluding minor projects who only use a couple of features). They can increase profits through feature development and cost saving, a lot more than through uptime. Is there a limit to this? Of course. |
