The role of catastrophic failure in software design with Jeff Atwood
Recorded on February 15th, 2022
Join seasoned veteran, Jeff Atwood (yes, that Jeff Atwood of Stack Overflow and Discourse) as he discusses the role of catastrophic failure in software design.
Users of modern apps require as close to 100% uptime as possible, which also means they require quick results. When these expectations aren't met, we need to learn from them to create better design. But what if your fault tolerance design ends up being the cause of your issues? Sean Molloy, and BJ Maldonado talk with Jeff about how you can learn from failure to improve your software.
Hear directly from Jeff:
- The importance of resilient design
- How resilient design can, at times, be the cause for actual failure
- What recovering from failure looks like
- And whatever else comes up!
