that's surprising actually. I'd expect my sites to run for about a year if i suddenly died. maybe longer. certs will renew themselves, servers will restart themselves. everything is on autopay. the thing to kill it would probably be api breaks by 3rd parties. maybe disk space would kill me eventually too.. i don't have auto resizing for my sql database but its got a long runway yet. or god forbid my site grows on its own and the qps kills it.


Yes, but when you suddenly die, you don't think "hey, let's bring down this website" like Elon has: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1592177471654604800


I mean, twitter is incomparably more complex than your website (I assume you don’t sit over google or Facebook), plus I’m sure elon made people poke at the system (“we only need 20% of the mucroservices”…)
