So we’re starting a general contractor company and i I’m wondering if anyone else did that and had general advice?
Its with someone else that is not really technology savy.
You said the other person involved isn’t technical: what if say, a database corrupts itself and you’re on vacation for a week.
Is the expectation that you’ll always be available all the time to fix technical problems?
And, as a failure state: what happens if you simply cannot be reached for that week no matter what. What’s the failover plan for the rest of the people involved in the business?
And then you are basically hiring an infra team to run the services and have the redundancy, and then with salaries you’re nearing just paying for software again

Well, a fault isn’t just an outage.

Yeah, the bus factor is an issue to take into account also. I’ll need to find someone else to be able to solve those issues.
