Given the infrastructure that the PSF has already set up to handle the
modern incarnation of PyPI, I suspect adding our own instance of
cla-assistant to that (and hence being able to easily integrate it with the
PSF's existing monitoring and management tools, like DataDog) will actually
be easier than devising and managing a custom cla-assistant-specific
disaster recovery plan.

'tis the beauty and wonder of combining traditional three-tier open source
web applications with an automated app management platform like Kubernetes
:)

Cheers,
Nick.
