arg, one of the principles to handle higher than usual load is basically "the opposite of progressive enhancement"
of like "okay the backend microservice is overwhelmed, we're not doing fancy thing right now"
but I can't remember what the name of it is.
also related to AWS-ish talks about fallback vs failover (they talk about if your fallback is more reliable, why not use it as the default)
maybe it was a google paper?
gosh a lot of places just sell horizontal scaling as a panacea.
