In the video, I discussed the aftermath of an outage using the GitHub incident as an example. The outage was caused by an integer overflow in a foreign key column, leading to high failure rates. Mitigation involved running a schema migration to change the column type. Post-mitigation steps included addressing data inconsistencies, cache invalidation, setting up proper alerting, and taking preventive measures. The importance of regular audits, improved alerting, and preventive actions to avoid recurring issues was emphasized. These steps can prevent similar outages in the future.
