I hear you. It's not a fun position to be in. And sometimes you're correct to take calculated risks and maybe the expected value was positive here, despite what ended up happening.

Without knowing the details about your services and infrastructure, it's hard for me to know what's involved in going multi-region now. Are you sure it's such a a gargantuan effort? I would've thought one person working full-time on this for a week or two would be enough, but again I don't know the details of your setup.

One option would be to pay a consultant who is an expert in Azure/cloud stuff to come in and help. May not be cheap, but could be a lot better and quicker for you and better for the business, especially if none of you are really big experts in Azure.

I've been here before (I think)...had to wear many hats and scramble to make sales, build the tech, act as de facto DevOps person even without a lot of experience doing it, etc. That is the way, but stuff happens.

Happy to chat about specifics if you want to bounce ideas off of me or go through your particular situation. Can't promise I'll have concrete advice, but happy to talk it through.

Thanks a lot, is really super nice of you and appreciated! Luckily we have somebody very knowledgeable on our team. Will tell him to reach out if he wants to have a peer to brain-storm some ideas.
