Long Term Photon Connection Stability

I really like the Particle platform, so someone please tell me I’m wrong about the following…

I came across a posting about Core stability and noticed that the network issues called out are startlingly similar to those called out in this thread. Given the similarities, I’m concerned there may be a fundamental flaw in the Particle products’ design where it’s reliance on the cloud may be it’s undoing - especially in settings where network connectivity is less than reliable.

To me, the inability to keep a Photon running reliably over time is a major issue and one which may require me to abandon the platform. Particle, it’s my sincere hope that this issue can be resolved - please reach out if help is needed to debug.
