In March 2023, Datadog experienced a two-day incident resulting from a security update to the systemd component. The incident prompted several important lessons:
- Recognizing the indirect coupling of behavior between regions, highlighting the need to strengthen the foundational infrastructure.
- Understanding the clear hierarchy of data importance, prioritizing live data and alerts over historical data.
- Considering the scale of degradation in chaos tests to ensure the platform can operate effectively in degraded conditions.
- Improving communication with customers during incidents by providing clear guidance and updates.
- Exploring better methods of communicating detailed real-time product status.
My two cents:
It is crucial to note that despite the implementation of multi-cloud, multi-region, and chaos engineering strategies, system failures can still occur. Therefore, investing efforts and resources into incident response preparation and effective communication during major outages is essential.
