Learn about non-obvious ways developers can inadvertently compromise application reliability in this 41-minute conference talk from DevOops. Explore common reliability patterns like retries, caching, redundancy, and load balancing that developers implement to protect against dependency failures. Discover how these safety mechanisms can sometimes backfire and actually worsen system outages instead of preventing them. Get practical insights into identifying potential pitfalls when implementing reliability patterns and learn effective approaches to ensure backup systems truly enhance rather than undermine application resilience. Gain valuable SRE perspective on properly implementing fault tolerance without creating new failure modes.
