Enterprise migrations fail for one reason. Nobody installed the black box before takeoff✈️. As a private pilot, I fly with a paper map and a GPS. I open a flight plan so someone can track me and find me if I go down. I talk to towers and services constantly during the journey so they know where I am, can help, and can find me if something goes wrong. Nobody does that for data migrations. No LIDAR scan of what existed. No snapshot of state before anything moved. No way to rewind ⏪ and compare what the data looked like on day one versus what it looks like now. So when something breaks six months after cutover, and it always does, your team is doing crash scene reconstruction with no evidence. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁.

So when something breaks, you don't guess. You time travel ⏱️ Buckle up. The past is closer than you think!
