How to Integrate Systems
I was working for an organization that very awesome organization a nonprofit which basically helps students, right? Especially in underserved communities sort of prepare to take sort of standardized testing and that kind of thing. We didn't test against having roughly four thousand students Trying to log in to the system at the same time because you have these systems that are talking to each other for authentication and pooling things whatever it isBasically we just had a thundering herd kind of situation happening and we didn't Account for that Because all of our tests even in our integration tests and everything else They didn't factor in that kind of scale and I take responsibility for that. So after that incident, I was like never again.
