What unholy thing did they do that broke it across 12 different datacenters, good lord.
This does seem to indicate a notable lack of isolation for the blast radius between DO datacenters. Would be interesting to see the post mortem.

I get the feeling that whoever writes the post-mortem is going to have a bit of pressure to assure folks that there is isolation going forward.
That would be a bad sign that there’s something wrong with the culture. I would hope for a postmortem that identified flaws that genuinely needed to be fixed.
