Some lessons I took from this retro:

- Disable autoscaling if appropriate during outage. For example if the web server is degraded, it's probably best to make sure that the backends don't autoscale down.

- Panic mode in Envoy is amazing!

- Ability to quickly scale your services is important, but that metric should also take into account how quickly the underlying infrastructure can scale. Your pods could spin up in 15 seconds but k8s nodes will not!
