An AI agent wiped a production database, 2.5 years of data, and every snapshot with a single Terraform command.
Assuming business continuity in the age of AI is not an option.
The question isn't "could this happen to us?" It's "how do we get back to business?"
Gambit answers that continuously, automatically, before an incident forces the answer on you.
Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command.
It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards.
Automated snapshots were gone too.
In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again.
If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.
