  I started using "The Cloud" in 2012 to build apps. At the time they called it Google App Engine. In the last 13 years a lot has changed and I've used all the main cloud offerings.

  I've been a part of many outages that originated on our cloud provider. And what I've learned is the best practices rarely save you. We pretend multi-az, global DBs and fail overs protect us, but they don't. They make us more scale able, but not more resilient.
