Yesterday, the German state I live in (NRW) launched its website for vaccination registration. Predictably, it broke down. After all, there’s no way for a poor country like Germany to create a website that can handle 700 requests/second. That’s black magic

Similar to Bavaria where the online schooling platform mebis kept breaking down, and the official recommendation was (still is?) to stagger usage. With the number of students and time of usage pretty much exactly known, this is the simplest case to scale and yet we fail.

That is really weird. As a backend developer I have no idea how bad I must be to not get 700 rps done. ( Except I'm ordering total wrong hardware )

Being in another country, I share the frustration seeing the level of amateurism of our governments in front of this crisis. I don't know if it reassuring or more frightening when your neighbors are just as lost as you are.
