DR drill always starts with a "war room" all the engineers gather in one room, get into the “DR channel in Slack, open a huge Excel and start following the procedure step by step David stops the “BE” service, Danit failsover the database, Dafna changes the app configuration. Kriss the DR “M.C” write everything on a whiteboard and so on to all services... Or otherwise: A developer go into hipchat, types “mastermove failover from NY to LA” and we're done. All systems moved to LA. In outbrain we are building a complete automation of the DR process, and we are happy to share it with you.
