GAGE

Reliability.

Bad reception is part of field work. A broken app does not get to become part of field work.

In the field

Gage is designed to keep the day’s work available when a tester loses service. The device holds what it needs, accepts work offline, and sends changes when a connection returns.

The interface should make pending and synchronized work legible. A weak signal should change when data travels, not whether the job can be done.

On the public web

The Home, Pricing, Policies, Privacy, Security, and Reliability pages are static documents served separately from the application. They remain available when the application or sign-in system is having trouble.

Live account state and interactive capabilities may be unavailable during an outage. The public explanation of Gage should remain standing.

In the service

We use managed infrastructure, health checks, controlled releases, logs, and backups to reduce failures and recover from them. We test recovery paths because a backup that has never met a restore is mostly a comforting story.

We avoid publishing an uptime number before we have enough operating history to make it meaningful.

During maintenance

Some changes require maintenance. We aim to keep those windows short and place them where they cause the least disruption. When planned work is likely to affect customers materially, we will communicate it in advance.
