This does suck, seriously. And honestly I don't think we do enough to allow you to prevent stuff like this from taking your application down, sure.. you should be building clustered, highly available applications that have good failover, but really we don't provide you with the best tools to do real fail over. We're working really hard right now to provide a shared ip so you can fail it over onto another IP, and we're also in the early stages of building out a really nice load balancer. People forget DO is still a pretty small team, 15 engineers now.. and we're doing our best. :)

Again, this really sucks and I'm sorry it happened - I'd love you to email me the IP of the droplet you had issues with ([e-mail])
