Manual Redeploys and Other Helpful Information in an Emergency

Like many modern software developers, we rely on a number of external services to be responsible for certain repeatable processes. One such example is CircleCI, which we use for deployment. It's a great tool in many ways, and reduces the surface area of what we ourselves have to manage, ideally transferring associated risk. However, it opens us up to a different risk: namely, what happens if CircleCI goes down and we need to deploy our app? For this circumstance, we have a series of scripts that can be run manually. They live in the script directory, and you can find information about how to run them in this README under the Deployment Scripts heading.

Please add any other fear-inducing scenarios and our mitigation attempts here.
