For some reason when I read your comment I had a vision of the Reddit founders in the very early days, waking up in the middle of the night to restart the server when it had crashed. Their sanity was very nearly wrecked because they didn't know about the existence of daemon supervisor tools yet. God help them if they'd had to deal with GDPR while still sleep-deprived.

Early-stage startups do not, in general, have their shit together. A straw may not break a camel's back, but a camel embryo would have a harder time with it.
