Uptime Labs and the Multi-Party Dilemma (Part II)
About this podcast
The VOID makes public software-related incident reports available to everyone, raising awareness and increasing understanding of software-based failures in order to make the internet a more resilient and safe place. This podcast is an insider's look at software-related incident reports. Each episode, we pull an incident report from the VOID (https://www.thevoid.community/), and invite the author(s) on to discuss their experience both with the incident itself, and the also the process of analyzing and writing it up for others to lean from.
