Sure, the approach I advocated for can have much worse consequences in general. However, in this particular case it was ~impossible for the outage to get that costly - we operated the servers and knew the blast radius. My estimate was for the total cost. Also, 2 engineers working for 3 months cost a ton of money, not even counting for the opportunity cost of other things they could’ve been doing. If the potential outage cost was closer to $100k I’d likely stick with my decision. |
