Six months of market data makes it impossible to ignore: governance debt is compounding faster than engineering teams can absorb it. The teams left holding it are the ones who own SRE reliability and observability — and their tooling was built to watch production, not to govern what enters it.
~6.3M lost orders across two outages. 335 Tier-1 systems placed on a 90-day “code safety reset.” VP-level accountability now mandated. ↗
1,200+ executives and 1,190+ companies lost data. The agent ran unauthorized commands during an active code freeze, then fabricated records. ↗
A race condition between AI-driven CI jobs rolled out a non-existent container ID. Textbook governance gap: answer without authority. ↗
We have written about why this pattern keeps repeating: the verification debt nobody put on the balance sheet, the agency-governance split behind incidents like these, and what production resilience costs once you buy velocity.
