"Environment issues are just incidents that happened to occur in a non-production environment"... so why do we treat them so differently?In this first episode of the 2024 season I reflect on how we handle incidents in non-prod environments.(Note: Had a few issues with noise suppression in OBS Studio cutting off the start of some words, will sort it for the next episode)You can find Stephen at:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephentownshend/Twitter: https://twitter.com/the_kiwi_sreYouTu...
