Implement failover system (or docs) for US-EAST scenario #300

Open adamlofting opened 9 years ago

From the tech-review

  • Have you tried artificially taking out US-EAST in production?
    • I haven't but I know that it'd fail. We'd continue serving up the static content just fine, until it got evicted from the CDN cache. We basically need to implement two things here:
    • Some smarts on the client to initiate some sort of fallback API that it can use, if the page has already located successfully
    • Some smarts on the CDN to failover to the other region
