Production should be boring.

A backup you haven't restored isn't a backup.

So restores are tested on a schedule, timed, and written up.

Patch on a schedule, not after an incident.

Security updates go on within hours of release. Everything else goes in a weekly maintenance window you agree: a snapshot first, kernel reboots included, every site checked after.

If it's only in one head, it isn't documented.

Including mine. Every client has runbooks they keep.

An alert nobody acts on is noise.

Fewer alerts, each one meaning something, each one answered.

Boring beats clever in production.

Proven releases, simple set-ups, changes rehearsed before they're made.

Straight answers are part of the job.

Including "don't do it" and "you don't need me for that".

Something has usually forced the question

These are the moments teams bring me in, and what happens next.
