"QSSI built the EIDM, which was finished and tested in February and March. But Slavitt said the site, including the EIDM, was overwhelmed by the unexpected rush of traffic. He said that that may not have been as much of an issue except for a “late decision” to require people to register and account first rather than allow anonymous window shopping. He did not say who made the decision.
Who could possibly have made a stupid decision like that?
The site runs on the nginx webserver, THE premier high traffic, highly scalable webserver.
“He said that that may not have been as much of an issue except for a late decision to require people to register and account first rather than allow anonymous window shopping. He did not say who made the decision.”
An attempt to “carrot” as many as possible to voluntarily walk right in to THE FASCIST CONCENTRATION CAMP, because that’s what it is. As opppose to going “house by house” person by person, and forcing this CONCENTRATION CAMP upon them.
There’s more to this than a “stupid decision”
Remember that first analyst who was being cited about the problems? The one that said it basically initiated a denial of service attack on itself everytime someone tried to use it? Because using it launched something like 90 data transfers with the clients PC?
What exactly were all those data transfers doing? Sound like they were part of the “register first, then browse” late decision.
If so Republicans MUST determine what data was being transferred? Was it simply the registration data being requested? Would 90 separate process be required to do that?
Or does healthcare.gov go trolling for additional information on the client macine?
