I think every N days a chaos monkey event should happen for every business to help with this kind of issue. If a SaaS takes your business offline, you aren't resilient.

Props to anyone that can build a system mature enough to withstand a chaos monkey element running loose in prod. Brilliant.

This is a good argument for encouraging employee vacations as well. Makes a more resilient company when nodes occasionally turn off.
