Post Mortem Analysis

Nice Pick

Developers should learn and use Post Mortem Analysis to enhance system resilience and team collaboration, particularly after outages, bugs, or failed deployments

Pros

  • +It is crucial in high-availability systems, such as cloud services or critical applications, where downtime can have significant impacts
  • +Related to: incident-management, root-cause-analysis

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Blameless Culture

Developers should learn and implement Blameless Culture to reduce fear of failure, encourage transparency in incident reporting, and accelerate problem-solving in complex systems

Pros

  • +It is particularly valuable in environments with microservices, distributed systems, or rapid deployment cycles, where human error is inevitable and learning from mistakes is critical for reliability and team morale
  • +Related to: devops, site-reliability-engineering

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Post Mortem Analysis if: You want it is crucial in high-availability systems, such as cloud services or critical applications, where downtime can have significant impacts and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Blameless Culture if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable in environments with microservices, distributed systems, or rapid deployment cycles, where human error is inevitable and learning from mistakes is critical for reliability and team morale over what Post Mortem Analysis offers.
