    No, you are not stupid. Everyone starts with that. Maybe in a VM, but failures are absolutely normal.

    I once had a 9h downtime because somebody did not enable the circuit breakers again...

    I just have to add that also having a working system on the wrong Plattform, but being too lazy to set everything up on a new one. I.e. having php 7 on centos 7... It's too hacked for my liking
