[Verse 1] Sarah's database holds a million hearts Patient records, billing charts When silicon fails and circuits die How long can medicine survive? RTO and RPO dance their waltz Recovery time, recovery faults Define the thresholds, draw the line Between acceptable and catastrophic decline [Chorus] RTO's the clock tick tick ticking away How fast can you resurrect today? RPO's the memory slipping through cracks How much data can you lose and bounce back? Map your stack from ground to cloud Know which pieces can't be down Tick tick RTO, slip slip RPO Mission critical can't let go [Verse 2] Frontend crashes, users scream But backend holds the crucial stream Tier your architecture by pain What breaks the bank, what breaks the brain? Load balancers can buffer rage While databases guard the sacred page Calculate the dollar cost per hour When your infrastructure loses power [Chorus] RTO's the clock tick tick ticking away How fast can you resurrect today? RPO's the memory slipping through cracks How much data can you lose and bounce back? Map your stack from ground to cloud Know which pieces can't be down Tick tick RTO, slip slip RPO Mission critical can't let go [Bridge] Geopolitical storms brewing dark Undersea cables, question mark Supply chains stretched across the globe When tensions rise, who holds your code? Redundancy's your lifeline thread Multi-region, multi-spread Politics and packets intertwined Resilience by design [Verse 3] Payment gateway, thirty seconds max Authentication, zero cracks Reporting systems, wait an hour Analytics lose predictive power Document every component's role In your digital ecosystem's soul When governments and servers fall Which dominoes will topple all? [Chorus] RTO's the clock tick tick ticking away How fast can you resurrect today? RPO's the memory slipping through cracks How much data can you lose and bounce back? Map your stack from ground to cloud Know which pieces can't be down Tick tick RTO, slip slip RPO Mission critical can't let go [Outro] Define your tolerances before the crash Microseconds or minutes passing flash In the calculus of digital decay Your requirements light the way
