Like this never happens in big corps: sure, mostly on departmental level but still enterprises, not startups. They try to escape the annoying and slow as molasses dba’s/devops and install/create/buy/saas systems to avoid the red tape. But then the same things as with startups go wrong. And rather often too; we often had these calls asking if we could restore.

Obviously there are plenty of large enterprise wide data breaches, which, I would say is actually worse than losing a day of data in a lot of cases. So also not so many satefy measures, again, worse than startups; at least they have an excuse of being understaffed and underfunded.

Given the short time frames that startups aim to capture value in its not worth investing time in safety until you have plenty of capacity to spare later.
