While outage-driven news headlines can cause stock prices to plummet short term, the performance-driven reputation loss is a slow burn for longer-term customer loss. This session compares slowdowns vs outages and the resulting need for insight more than observability. By understanding these difference, you'll be ready to drive agile applications, gain funding for lowering technical debt, and focus on customer retention.

Recent world-impacting events have caused us all to have to rethink the way we go about our daily work; in this talk, we'll look at how some of the pillars of Resilience Engineering might help you and your team deal with the changes we're all being forced to confront.

In this session, we will dive into a case study of how a team can recover & improve a distributed system after a major incident. Distributed systems are more prone to failure than other systems due to their incredible complexity and scale, and incidents are a fact of life with these systems.

Chaos and uncertainty are all around us. Tammy Butow kicks off Failover Conf by sharing why reliability and resilience matter now more than ever — and how you can achieve it.

When starting a new application build, starting with an eye on resiliency prevents headaches down the line. There are many ways to tackle this, especially within different language environments and system eco-systems, but there are many shared across them all. Getting a high-level take-away list to use as a reference later, from a dive into them during this talk, viewers will learn how to develop software that is more fault-tolerant and able to with-stand impact of failures.
