🚨 Outages, debugging, and scaling chaos! 🚨 OpenAI and Canva faced downtime, a Kubernetes add-on showed its quirks, and debugging Rust proves no walk in the park..... Our latest newsletter is out. detect.sh/blog/detect-10… #Kubernetes #debug #SRE #reliability #problemdetection
Proactively searching for these anti-patterns is hard enough. Doing something about it before it explodes is even harder. This is why I like community driven problem detection. You can leverage their experience on top of yours to help make the case for action.
