Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again. If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read. alexeyondata.substack.com/p/how-i-droppe…

The 3-2-1 Backup Rule is more important than ever if you code with AI because fatal accidents can happen It means you should have 3 copies of your data, in 2 different media types and 1 copy off-site 1) One is the actual data on your own server (the hard drive) or DB server 2) One backup is in cloud storage (that's the different media type) 3) One backup is off site, at another provider, and preferrably in another geographical location For me that's 1) Hetzner VPS, 2) Hetzner's own daily and weekly backups on the dashboard, and 3) Backblaze B2 Hetzner's own backups are impossible to access by the VPS or AI, so that's safer If you use AWS or other providers you can apply the 3-2-1 Backup Rule in your own way I've never lost any data!
