I've been assured by many HN users that running apps/sites on a single VPS requires near-zero maintenance or monitoring to achieve acceptable uptime 24/7/365 for years on end, sooooo...just pretend it will never fail like your main server process?

Ive been assured by many HN users that you must have 24/7/365 uptime for everything in case one of your 10 bi-monthly users decides to log on.

24/7/365 is needed (or achieved) just about never. our big tech is proving 90% will soon be utopia as well. being down has always been fine for 99.999975% of all projects on the planet.
