How to Build Resilient Systems in Complex Enterprises

When systems fail, it’s rarely because no one saw it coming. It’s because no one planned for it. In this episode, Duncan Mapes and Jason Ehmke share real-world lessons from years of building and scaling technology across enterprise environments where downtime costs dollars. They explore the art of designing resilient systems that can withstand inevitable failure points, recover quickly, and continue operating under pressure. From team culture to proactive design checklists, this conversation dives into how engineering leaders can turn system reliability into a competitive advantage.
