Software supply chains are far more fragile — and far more important — than most developers realise. In this episode, Daniel Terhorst-North explores what the latest AWS outage reveals about our industry’s growing dependency on third-party cloud services. From cloud computing and cloud security risks to the hidden layers of the software supply chain, they discuss how to identify weak links, build resilience, and manage risk in modern software engineering.
Whether you’re a software developer, software engineer, or technical leader, understanding your runtime and build-time dependencies is now essential. This conversation breaks down practical approaches to supply chain management in software development, explores how cloud engineering impacts reliability, and shares strategies for making your systems more robust against the unexpected.
