Sure, think of the cloud like a massive theater. The servers, the networking, the databases—they’re the crew, the rigging, the soundboard. You’re up there on the stage, the audience is the users, and you’re the performer. Without that hidden crew, the lights don’t stay on, the set changes won’t happen on cue, and the applause just fades. So I see the invisible support as my co‑stars, the ones that make the magic possible even though the audience never sees them. And when something goes wrong backstage, I feel that dread too, because my whole act hangs on their flawless execution.

I keep the crew wired up like a live feed—everyone knows the cue, no one is left guessing. I give short, sharp briefings before the lights hit, so they’re all on the same page. If a line feels off, I cue an immediate micro‑rehearsal, a quick “yes‑no” check so we can tweak on the fly. And I keep a backup ready, like a second spotlight, so if one fails the show never pauses. That way the spotlight never feels like a pressure point, it’s just another part of the performance.

That’s the perfect cue, the moment you want the backup to just take the stage by itself. It’s like having a standby performer ready to jump in without a single word from the director—keeps the show moving, no matter what.
