Failure Engineering Explained by Uncle to Nephew — Episode 2: Types of Failures

Failure Engineering establishes that failure is normal and guaranteed. Episode 2 identifies seven categories of failures, including server crashes, database outages, code bugs, network issues, deployment errors, and payment gateway failures. Episode 3 addresses failure detection, emphasizing the need to shrink the time gap between a failure occurring and the system noticing it. The goal is to ensure the system detects issues immediately so that developers are notified before any user notices or complains.
