Title: Database Disasters: Our Worst Storage Nightmares - Share Your Horror Stories!

"Hey guys, I've had my fair share of database disasters in my previous job as a dev. One of the worst was when our MySQL server crashed during a peak hour, causing our entire e-commerce platform to go down for hours. I lost count of the number of angry customers we got after that"

"Yikes, I feel you guys. I once had a database crash because of a corrupted index from a dodgy plugin update on my WordPress site. Took me 2 days to recover the data, but luckily I had backups."

" Omg, I got a doozy of a story - our company's MySQL database crashed in 2018 and we lost 3 weeks of customer data. We had to do a super stressful restore from backups and hope nobody noticed the missing records. Luckily we managed to salvage most of it, but the stress was real"

" Omg, I remember this one time my AWS EBS volume just disappeared in the middle of the night, wiping out our entire dev environment. Luckily we had backups, but still a super stressful few hours. Anyone else ever deal with an 'unexplained' data loss like that?"
