With a sarcastic twist we recount the tales of those who somehow manage to create chaos out of the simplest tasks. We strike a balance between relatable frustration and dark humor that gets even the most cringe-inducing stories entertaining and you will find yourself laughing, cringing, and shaking their heads in disbelief as we take a wild ride through the chaotic world of IT, where every glitch is a ghost story waiting to be told.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-06T20:18:46.219369+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-horror-stories-with-jack-smith-7324626"},"episode":{"title":"The DevOps Royale With Cheese - When a Data Supplier Breaks Production","slug":"the-devops-royale-with-cheese-when-a-data-supplier-breaks-production","published_at":"2025-12-01T07:58:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-horror-stories-with-jack-smith-7324626/the-devops-royale-with-cheese-when-a-data-supplier-breaks-production","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-horror-stories-with-jack-smith-7324626","url":"https://blog.ithorrorstories.eu/episode-8-the-devops-royale-with-cheese/","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/c3f32df0-f9b4-48d7-9782-c3252d84e69a/The_DevOps_Royale_With_Cheese.mp3?dest-id=4735702","summary":"In this episode, we return to Finland, where an international burger chain suddenly found itself cut off from the one thing every fast-food operation needs to function: real-time operational data. A third-party data supplier pulled the plug without warning, leaving kitchens blind, dashboards empty, and the entire workflow stuck on \"please wait.\" What followed was a truly Nordic-speed DevOps rescue mission — rapid troubleshooting, frantic config changes, un-authorized workarounds, and a race to restore data before the lunch rush turned into a customer revolt. From vendor surprises to emergency pipelines, this episode serves up a full stack of DevOps chaos... with cheese. Want even more info ?
