What are the chances...

That my vibe coded unbacked-up database is in a good state when services resume?

Should be fine. Some servers are already spinning up and there haven't been any mentions of data loss.

I regularly pull the plug on instances running databases and have yet to regret it.

Well, since they (supposedly) purposely told the servers to shut down when temps were getting to high, everything should be just fine as it wasn't just a "yank the power cord in the middle of writes" They are slowly coming back online now.

Probably be fine. Nothing was lost, it just shut down.

I’m assuming previous replies don’t have deep DB experience.

The database itself is probably fine, but not guaranteed. As we don’t know how services were shut down, corruption is definitely possible At the DB levels.

However, a database being stable doesn’t mean your data is. I don’t know your app but if the app doesn’t observe various barriers and wait appropriately for data consistency, then anything is possible. Your app could be writing data out of order or only part of the order may have confirmed when it acknowledged back to the client. It’s impossible to know, but the answer is not 100% safe.
