The vast majority of products with paying customers need better availability than “database went down on Friday and I was AFK until Monday, sorry for the 3 day downtime everyone”

    If you're offering a hosted service, I've got bad news for you.

    Serverless, managed databases and even multicloud won't save you. You'll still have to be on call.

    Don't want to be on call? Design your stuff so it works local first.

      Local first stuff can also break, so that's not a foolproof plan.
