Key Takeaways:
- Why recovery built on full-restore snapshots sets a hidden ceiling on speed at multi-region scale, and what precise, targeted restore changes about incident response.
- How to let engineers recover on their own without weakening the retention and audit controls a regulated environment runs on.
- How to make the financial case for recovery, using infrastructure savings that come from architecture instead of added spend.
- What SoFi sequenced first, where the effort actually went, and what they'd tell a team attempting the same today.
