What is your disaster recovery plan (DR) regarding such a scenario? Did you plan, research, document and test such likely scenarios to establish user expectations and timings during an outage?
If you didn't have a proven DR plan in place in this day and age then fire you CTO/CIO.
So the final answer to your question without knowing all the details is ... It depends!
I have pretty much everything automated nicely. In the worst case scenario I can migrate to a totally different cloud provider and be up and running again in less than an hour. For the database I use an HA Postgres cluster so it can tolerate the temporary loss of one or two nodes. My dataset is still tiny so recovering is super quick.
