The CrowdStrike incident shows the high cost of not properly testing IT systems. When companies skip thorough testing, they risk serious problems that can lead to big financial losses and damage their reputation. For example, the CrowdStrike outage drained an estimated $5.4 billion from Fortune 500 companies, and Delta's CEO reported an IT outage costing the airline $500 million. This incident is a clear reminder of how vital it is to invest in proper testing to catch issues early and ensure reliability. Neglecting testing can be very costly in the long run. Jokes and memes aside, thorough testing isn't just a "nice-to-have"; it's essential for maintaining IT system integrity and trustworthiness. Investing in comprehensive testing helps ensure system reliability, prevents financial losses, and protects a company's reputation in an increasingly digital world. Learn from others, and protect your assets.

In 2020 my team had a foresight to introduce a custom CrowdStrike release process to prevent this exact outcome. We met with CrowdStrike support team and asked to have our release process as a standard out of the box option, but clearly that did not happen. Our release process looks like this: DEV=N INT=DEV > INT and stable/unchanged for 7 days PROD=INT > PROD and stable/unchanged for 7 days This introduces a 2 week test buffer for stability checks and prevents this very silliness.

One of the lessons we learned from Crowdstrike incident about Redundancy is super important in technology because it helps prevent downtime and data loss. Think of it like having a backup plan. If one system fails, another one can take over, keeping things running smoothly.
