Riiight. But what happens when there's nobody on that oncall rotation? I've worked at FAANGs, and I'm just thinking what would happen if there was a problem with an upstream team and nobody there. Maybe it's ours now. Maybe there's a principal engineer who worked on it back in the day that's still on the payroll? Maybe we're just going to try to bring it back up with no idea what is going on? What if you have a bug that silently loses data?
