On this edition, Sam shares with me some scary moments from his time at DigitalOcean. Sam tells the tale of a database table that was dropped. https://blog.digitalocean.com/update-on-the-april-5th-2017-outage/ Sam Phippen is a Developer Advocate at Google, and previously an Engineering Manager at DigitalOcean. He's seen his fair share of deep, complex, incidents. He has strong opinions about incident management, postmortem culture, and on call practises. He's sad that he can't hug every cat.
