On the front end, you can put lipstick on that pig.

On the back end, it has to work and there's nowhere to apply lipstick.

OTOH, it seems there is a trend in modern dev practices that it's acceptable for a service to terminate frequently, as long as it respawns, which finally made me figure out all the sci-fi tropes where a ship's systems aren't responding. It's because too many are crashing in concert. But mostly terrifying that this practice would ever be considered practical.
