What happens if the server dies?

Currently, I don't feel confident that in the event the server goes down (perhaps from hardware degradation), that it could be brought back up quickly. It'd be nice to have a test of this, and see if a new instance can be brought up, and the DB switched over, while the have the old one to fall back on. In similar fashion to https://www.pagerduty.com/blog/failure-friday-at-pagerduty/, I'd rather know that we have issues bringing up a new server (perhaps due to outdated dependencies) while we still have a crutch to rely on if needed.

This has been validated during the switch from AWS to Digital Ocean.
