I don't want to get into it but I've dealt with issues like this and I don't think you are terrible or bad at your job. I'm seeing a lot of shade going your way. Sometimes a particular configuration works well until something changes. Just wanted to offer my two cents.


I think people are reacting badly because the title can create the impression that this is HTTP/2’s fault.

The actual post seems perfectly reasonable though (essentially “you might think you can just turn on HTTP/2 as a drop in on your load balancer a but if your server code hasn’t been written to rapidly handle the quick bursts of requests that enable HTTP/2 to provide faster overall loads to the client then this can cause issues; you should test first and make sure your server systems are able to handle HTTP/2 request patterns.)


Somewhat understandable. I didn't get hung up on the title, and if anything the story is an object lesson in the need to familiarize yourself with the intricacies of inbound changes to your stack.

I appreciate when people share war stories; I like to think that wisdom is knowledge survived.
