We have this Deposit Return System freshly implemented and of course the IT backend broke after few weeks.

The important thing to notice is that the operator just won't take *any* responsibility/SLA for the IT system, because IT just breaks y'know.

I'd also bet the reason they can't even tell when they will be able restore transaction processing is that their backend is some unnecessarily complex k8s and/or cloud-native monstrosity... (see also: https://blog.thinkst.com/2024/07/unfashionably-secure-why-we-use-isolated-vms.html )
