Worst dev disaster you can imagine?
Week 245 Group Rant

3y

1) API Server crash due to Uncaught Error and none of us realised it until 30 mins later (no email alerts, no mechanism in place to notify devs): expensive mistake

2) api server and database server on one frickin vps, with no caching mechanisms or memoisation on frontend: Worst nightmare of my life

    How did you stumble upon the crash if there were no alerts?

    @asgs We had to fix a bug and push it to production. So when we checked our server logs manually we realised nodejs app had crashed. Fortunately we learned from it and made the builds automatic later on
