The Problem

Frequent downtimes and outages:

Competitor Landscape

  • Cloudflare (proxy/availability)
  • AWS Global Accelerator
  • LaunchDarkly (kill switches)
  • Datadog/New Relic (observability)
  • Gremlin (resilience)

Must-Have Features for MVP

Reverse-proxy/SDK integration with health probes
Real-time signed cache for read-most finance endpoints
Append-only write journal with replay and conflict checks
Per-tenant SLOs, circuit breakers, and fail-open policies
Drill-down outage analytics and synthetic tests
Built-in status page and comms templates for stakeholders

⚠️ Potential Challenges

  • Deep integration to ensure consistency of queued writes
  • Ensuring idempotency across 3rd-party APIs/webhooks
  • Customer security reviews for handling financial data
  • Data residency and regulatory constraints (SOX/GDPR)

Risk Level: Moderate

🎯 Keys to Success

  • Zero data loss with provable idempotency
  • Seamless failover with no UX retraining
  • Demonstrable reduction in downtime minutes and backlog
  • Auditable replay logs for compliance
