The Penny Glitch That Cost Big [Video]

In October, the night before Halloween, we co-hosted a special Test in Production session with Honeycomb.io. We asked speakers to bring their best horror stories of operational outages and other scary events.

Marc Devens, Director of Product at BrandVerge, shared two stories. First, he spoke about what happened when Appeagle — a company that provides price management software for third-party sellers on Amazon, eBay, and Walmart — was caught up in a major pricing error. (Items that typically cost thousands of dollars, were somehow listed as one cent.) Marc also shared a short story of how his current team at BrandVerge avoided potential disaster when launching 5+ major features with an offshore contract team after many months of only shipping fixes.
