Actual facts about the Coinbase outage yesterday. As usual, Rob explains clearly what happened, and I am sure will take steps to make the systems more resilient in the future.
Things that didn't happen, and if your "influencer" told you these were the reason. They are just baiting you for clicks and engagement.
- No one vibe coded something that failed.
- A "non-engineer" didn't push production code and take out the trading engine.
- It wasn't intentional.
- It wasn't because Coinbase failed to design a fail-over system.
Things happen at scale, don't let the armchair quarterbacks tell you tall tales.
