You're inadvertently proving my point! Google's services went down across Europe, not at one location.
If you had replicated your app in two EU regions, then you'd be down anyway. Note that most customers would behave like this for regulatory, sovereignty, or simple speed-of-light physics reasons.
You're solving for the 0.001% scenario where in reality both you and your customers go down in a heap together, making the entire effort a giant waste of time, effort, and money.
IMHO replicated backups and -- like I said -- fast automated deployments are sufficient to cover for the armageddon scenarios, and everything else should just be ignored by most customers.
Sure, okay, if your team is responsible for missile defence shield control or something, go nuts with the redundancy!
