I lost all user passwords, and it wasn't a hack. How my site survived a Yandex Cloud outage

The creator of Workaem, an IT job aggregator, shared his experience recovering the service after a major Yandex Cloud outage that left the site inaccessible for six days. The incident exposed critical architectural flaws, specifically the lack of geographic redundancy and total reliance on a single provider. During the emergency data migration, severe technical issues arose, including the loss of access to user passwords due to database configuration oversights. The author admits the failure was a consequence of his own design decisions made during the project's inception. This article serves as a vital reminder for developers about the necessity of diversifying cloud providers and implementing robust backup strategies. The Workaem case highlights that even without external attacks, poor disaster recovery planning can lead to a complete loss of service availability and user data.
