Technical issue: Coping with government systems downtime #3
Description
From the Philippines Open Government Partnership Independent Review Mechanism report regarding the PhilGEPS procurement portal: CSOs said "...access is difficult because of server capacity."
Procurement portals go down. Many countries systems struggle to cope with heavy traffic.
Does a standard need to consider:
- How data consuming systems that sync information might cope when source information is unavailable?
- How to ensure tools grabbing data in the standard don't put excess pressure on govt servers?
(The answer to these questions may be no, but I thought worth flagging)
