10 Years of Crashing Google
Error message

Google has long had a culture of causing failures to its systems intentionally to find failures and fix them before they happen in an uncontrolled manner. Along the way, we built up several supporting components that need to get addressed on the way: failure automation, response to incidents, learning from postmortems and failure prevention. This talk pulls together learnings (and war stories) from the entire lifecycle.
