Having worked in some places that aren't software companies it is pretty incredible how something a developer who is no longer in the company set in the last decade is still kicking ass with no monitoring or documentation. It's truly remarkable! All those databases that software depend on and go without people even realizing they exist until someone literally decomissions a datacenter only then to figure out lots of apps require that particular machine to be running... they're day in and day out working with 0 maintenance for years... impressive. Postgres, mysql and mongodb are examples of databases I've seen like that! As well as inhouse apps that depend on those databases... at most they have a cron job for backing up and keeping at most the last X backups.
