        I just assumed someone forgot to change the Octocat's litter box, it got pissed, and went on a rampage yanking cables with all 8 arms....

        (and I am mildly amused by the fact that the failure cascade basically started with a network disconnect ala octocat-cable-yanking.)

        I'm particularly impressed by how it only took 20 minutes from the start of the incident to diagnose and agree on a path forward (which I agree with FWIW - prioritize user data). The cause of the issue was also p much what one would've guessed. Thankful I've never deal w/it.

        Wow, that was a good read. I love when teams are allowed to tell the world about what happened and how they worked through to recovery.

        I've been doing dev & sysadmin stuff for 20 years now and I think I'd have made each and every one of those same decisions given what was known at the time. I hope your engineers aren't blaming themselves!

        I think it's tragic/hilarious that I've had similar things happen before with vanilla multi-master replication, right down to crawling through binary replication logs to see which queries need to be re-run. That's scary for one server, can't imagine it at Github's scale!
