Most of the stuff that I wrote in my last job was designed to keep going whatever. I didn't want to be disturbed with issues and as a tiny team we automated and fixed everything that was likely to cause us issues. I left >6mo go and it is still running without issues now. If a box dies it flips to another box on another data centre etc.

It's easy to have services working unattended for a long time when someone else is responsible for maintaining the hardware; even better if they're maintaining the OS updates too. Now if all the datacenter staff are furloughed too ... the first usually trivial issue might take everything down.
