Post Mortem Analysis vs Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
Developers should learn and use Post Mortem Analysis to enhance system resilience and team collaboration, particularly after outages, bugs, or failed deployments meets developers should learn and use fmea when designing or maintaining critical systems, such as in safety-critical software, medical devices, automotive systems, or aerospace applications, to prevent defects and ensure robustness. Here's our take.
Post Mortem Analysis
Developers should learn and use Post Mortem Analysis to enhance system resilience and team collaboration, particularly after outages, bugs, or failed deployments
Post Mortem Analysis
Nice PickDevelopers 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
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
Developers should learn and use FMEA when designing or maintaining critical systems, such as in safety-critical software, medical devices, automotive systems, or aerospace applications, to prevent defects and ensure robustness
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in agile or DevOps environments where continuous integration and deployment require early risk identification to avoid costly failures in production
- +Related to: risk-management, quality-assurance
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 Failure Mode and Effects Analysis if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable in agile or devops environments where continuous integration and deployment require early risk identification to avoid costly failures in production over what Post Mortem Analysis offers.
Developers should learn and use Post Mortem Analysis to enhance system resilience and team collaboration, particularly after outages, bugs, or failed deployments
