It Won’t Happen to Us… Until It Does
Every infrastructure disaster story starts the same way:
“We knew we should have set up monitoring/backups/security… but we were busy shipping features. We’d get to it next sprint.”
Then Friday at 4:47 PM hits. And everything breaks.
Answer 4 questions about your infrastructure setup, and we’ll generate:
- Your Horror Scenario: A realistic disaster based on your actual gaps
- Probability Score: How likely this is to happen
- Financial Impact: Lost revenue, customers, and time
- Prevention Cost: What it would take to prevent this
- The Math: Why prevention is always cheaper
Real Horror Stories (These Actually Happened)
The Disappeared Database
- No backups, database corruption
- 6 months of customer data: gone
- Company shut down within 90 days
- Total cost: €2.3M (the entire business)
The Weekend That Wouldn’t End
- No monitoring, payment system failed Friday evening
- Discovered Monday morning
- 72 hours of lost sales + emergency fixes
- Total cost: €127K
The Security Breach
- No security hardening, server compromised
- Customer data stolen, GDPR fines
- Lost customers, reputation damage
- Total cost: €420K
Why Generate Your Horror Story?
Because seeing is believing.
When you read a scenario customized to your business with:
- Your revenue numbers
- Your customer count
- Your team size
- Your actual infrastructure gaps
…it becomes real. And preventing it becomes urgent.
Who Needs This Wake-Up Call
- Founders who keep putting off infrastructure work
- CTOs who need to convince leadership to invest in reliability
- Finance teams who think infrastructure is “just a cost”
- Anyone with the nagging feeling “we should really fix that”
The Pattern
Every infrastructure disaster follows the same pattern:
- “We’ll fix it later” - Backlog builds up
- “It’s working fine” - False sense of security
- “Oh no” - The disaster hits
- “Why didn’t we…” - Regret and emergency fixes
Don’t be that story. Use the generator, see your risk, and fix it before it’s too late.
Prevention vs Recovery
Prevention cost: €2,000/month for managed infrastructure
Recovery cost: €50,000 - €2,300,000+ in lost revenue, customers, and emergency fixes
The math is clear. Prevention always wins.
