I could sorta see a situation where the reality is "we're in the middle of a miserable transition and it'll clean up when we're done" but I don't think anyone has confidence that's all it is at this point.

Even that doesn’t really make sense to me, unless they’ve done it in a way where everything has to move at once.

Everywhere I’ve worked, if a migration is causing this much downtime then you kill the migration or slow it down. If every change has a 10% chance of bringing the site down, you only do a change every week or two until you can work out the kinks.

		I mean, they are seemingly breaking every week or two so that might be what they are doing.

also it should be noted that LinkedIn had a 5 year plan of migrating everything to azure but abandoned it after a year.
