Isn't it your fault you didn't build a fault tolerant application? The first rule of building services is assume everything is broken.


Honestly, I haven't the resources to guarantee site uptime, and have accepted this will happen as a result; my complaint was more targeted at the default error messages.

It seems this can be changed, though, fortunately for Heroku.
