One of my colleagues keeps repeating “reliability is our number one feature”.

I’m not sure it is for 100% of early stage startups, but I guess it is once you exceed some minimum usage threshold.

That said, definitely appreciate the detailed explanation.

TL;DR -- It's very domain specific if reliability is your number one feature.

For a startup that is hosting other people's production application/data then this is absolutely true. Less than 100% always needs to be addressed.

For a startup that is selling bingo cards then reliability probably isn't nearly as important. I'm guessing there were certain holidays that were more important than others as far as reliability goes though? Maybe patio11 can chime in :)
