1. Not being able to cover all corner cases. Didn't implement auth on Mongo, some evil bot deleted the database. Forgot to set the timeout on HTTP client, ending up with resource leak (goroutine) and downtime.
Integrating a lot of services, often I miss so obvious thing which results in service going down.
2. People with expertise in some key areas not willing to help with your seemingly easy questions.
