Episode notes

When half the internet went offline due to a single DNS misconfiguration in AWS’s US East 1 region, it exposed a critical reality: even the world’s most sophisticated cloud infrastructure can fail in unexpected ways. In this episode of SaaS That App: Building B2B Web Applications, Daniel Cannon, Chief Innovation Officer at Delta Systems, joins hosts Aaron Marchbanks and Justin Edwards to break down exactly what happened during the outage, why it cascaded across Netflix, Spotify, and countless other services, and what it means for how you should architect your own systems.
