I also look forward to reading the postmortem. Stripe puts out a lot of high quality blog posts.

  The Stripe outage that occurred bc of a deleted DB index was particularly interesting. Someone deleted an index before the replacement was live due to a process error. This had cascading effects across the system and caused a large % of API requests to timeout. It's such a pedestrian problem but had an enormous impact.
