12 years in IT systems engineering. I've been the one on call, the one fielding the 2am page, and the one explaining to leadership why it happened.
Bitsfall tells the stories behind real tech disasters: what broke, how it spread, and what should have caught it. Plain language, no drama, and the technical facts kept right.
How the research works
- Primary sources first: vendor postmortems, status pages, and official incident reports.
- Speculation is labeled. If it isn't sourced, it isn't stated as fact.
- Mistakes get corrected, and noted in a pinned comment on the video.
What gets covered
- Outages in cloud, SaaS, network, and infrastructure
- Cascading failures, where one thing takes down ten
- Security breaches and how the attackers got in
- Config and change mistakes, the kind that page you at 2am
