They are doing it all wrong. Who runs on-prem hardware these days??? They should put it all in the cloud, they can replicate and have many instances of virtual Voyagers, not the measly 2. CDN should help with latency too, I hear their latency is measured in many hours, and is getting worse every day! Also, software update, big deal - use CI/CD!

They probably don't have a Kanban board either... Dinosaurs!

They are hard at work putting it in the Oort cloud.

Super low throughput and shard size, but robust vacuum gap security to defend against physical attacks.

Their latest patch was actually converting the entire app to use npm. Let's hope the poor probe has enough memory.

With npm, 64GB ought to be enough for everyone.

A rust rewrite from scratch is already in process

Lol

A Go rewrite from scratch soon to follow.

A rewrite in Scratch is in the early planning stages.

then Microsoft Power Automate, basically the same thing as Scratch but we can get a support contract.

Actually a linux is in the pipeline. Everything has to run linux for once. Even in o… cloud.

Great, I'll take the Web Assembly version.

I’m sure the AWS Ground Station[0] team is already on it. Soon you’ll be able to provision deep space probes via API and deploy your workloads in containers. (I hear the latency for bringing one up makes S3 Glacier look like a rocket sled though.)

Run it in the nebula!

I was gonna say "run it in the stars", but yours is funnier for some reason :-)

I bet it doesn't even run Kubernetes.

I think whatever they're running is being run far beyond our cloud infrastructure at this point. That's rather high level stuff, but this is billions of miles higher level than that.

if they had built it with a modern stack it would have done well to last 43 days, let alone 43 years.

Actually no, they were first to have code successfully run in (space dust) cloud for so long

I both love and hate it at the same time, well done.
