Could Your Company Survive a Google Outage?
Last week, Google Cloud went down—and with it, a massive chunk of the internet. In this episode of Standup, we’re joined by security expert Low Level Learning to break down what actually happened, how a single null pointer crashed Google’s management plane, and why Cloudflare and other services followed. We also go deep on software fuzzing, dependency risk, fail-open systems, and the absurd reality of internet-connected lamps.
