Welcome to How Systems Fail
Welcome to our new site dedicated to understanding system failures and building resilience.
Our Mission
Systems fail. It’s inevitable. But we can learn from these failures to build better, more resilient systems. This site explores:
- Real-world failures across different industries and domains
- Root cause analysis to understand what went wrong
- Preventive measures to avoid similar failures
- Recovery strategies for when things do go wrong
Why Study Failures?
Every failure is a learning opportunity. By studying how systems fail, we can:
- Identify common patterns and anti-patterns
- Develop better design principles
- Improve monitoring and alerting
- Create more robust recovery procedures
- Build a culture of learning from mistakes
What’s Next?
Stay tuned for detailed case studies, analysis frameworks, and practical guidance for building more resilient systems.
Remember: Failure is not the opposite of success, it’s a stepping stone to success.
