I was reminiscing about an incident that happened at a past job with an old co-worker. You know the one, the one where you installed a library that makes some task of yours simple, only to reveal the library makes things worse. This incident in particular involved the way that images served out of our Ruby on Rails application, and the library that made it possible to “easily resize before serving” them.

One of the most common reasons for system failures is changes to the underlying infrastructure. Amazon CloudTrail does a great job of recording when actions are taken but a lot of organizations don’t take advantage of it. FireHydrant now includes this data, giving you visibility into changes to your infrastructure while you’re investigating an incident.
