Cold-Restart Resilience is an article on what could go wrong, when a system recovers from a total outage. Cases, covered in this article, with some tips on how to solve those:

- Circular bootstrap dependencies
- Using in-memory storage as databases
- Failures when trying to create a quorum
- Failures to fetch a remote dynamic config
- Stale data in leaderless systems

It doesn't mention cascading errors, but those are kinda famous already.
