That's a really awesome article. It shows the power of just thinking about the what if scenario comes in very handy, because you begin to note information that might be useful.
I have written a few disaster/emergency plans and they are often forgotten about almost immediately, to the point they forget they even had them after a year.
- 1-more 1y agoAt my old gig the on-call rota involved doing a randomized fire drill at the start of your on call week. Think "the site is slow" or "users are seeing 500 errors." This included a TUI program to walk you through the fire drill with your partner. That same TUI was the tool to walk you through debugging a real fire, including alerting the right slack channels. It was very much inspired by how commercial pilots handle failures using checklists, allowing you to do as much of the problem solving as possible before the problem. It feels gross to compare it to ER docs saving lives in a mass casualty scenario but, well, I have a boring life but can relate to one aspect of theirs.
- GarnetFloride 1y agoThat's a really good plan. Its not the same but when your business is dead because one of the sysadmins accidentally deleted all the users from the system, its not all that different because many people's lives are on the line but the choices are different but some can become fatal.
