The importance of regular backups on production couldn't be stressed enough. Even in the old days of XAMPP and millennial tech, folks used to take regular mysql backups because they knew that even if the tech stack was robust, the hosting providers can raise their hands any moment.
With Google and Amazon AWS nowadays, we have this increased sense of carefree attitude thinking that these deities will take care of us and our data whatever may come. But remember that deities can fail too at times, they are just another technology company in the end, only with a bit more stock value and narrative power than others.
