I don't get it. There's lots of distributed systems theory that could provide a more robust, analytical approach to a scalable architecture. If a system is regularly breaking like this, it sounds like it should be a "back to the drawing board" moment.

It sounds like their product has been considered crap for years, so they've had the time.
