# f-lock

Much like the whims of a wild river, unexpected events can cause internet services to fail in catastrophic ways. Civil engineers tame rivers, like the Mississippi, by employing a variety of methods to protect against catastrophe -- one of these methods involves building locks to quickly redirect the flow of water to another channel. Similarly, in the event of an internet service catastrophy, f-lock will block flow into the failed service.

## Arch

F-lock requires a couple of moving parts --sigh.

* Amazon's Route53

* Apex domain access

* 2 or more independent platforms

* Your application

* Desire for availability
