Hi, let me recycle this reply posted initially at "Determine
phabricator.wikimedia.org service level" -
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76381

Currently Phabricator is getting the same service level that Bugzilla had.
Looking at the whole Wikimedia picture, I think this is the most sensible
option. I don't see any strong reason to change it.

Bugzilla was down unexpectedly several times in the past years, and if Ops
was able to react quicker it's just because we were luckier with the cause,
timing and location of the breaks. If we would have Bugzilla instead of
Phabricator in the rack that went down this weekend, the service provided
by Ops would have been exactly the same.

We can reopen this discussion when planning the migration of code review
and (eventually) continuous integration. For now, I think we are good. This
is the opinion of the Engineering Community team. If this works also for
Operations and Platform Engineering, then we can resolve this task.

PS: About the downtime itself, 5 hours on a weekend is clearly unfortunate,
but imho nothing that should make us revise the current service level. Was
anybody unable to work, arms crossed? Was any project delayed? I'm counting
volunteers as much as employees. Personally I learned about the downtime
only in wikitech-l, having used Phabricator on Saturday-Sunday night at 1am
CET, and then on Sunday at 1pm.
