Prodopsy is an independent technical platform focused on real production failures in software systems.
This platform does not exist to teach how to write code.
Prodopsy exists to explain why systems break after the code is already in production, which decisions led to those failures, and why the same mistakes keep repeating across different teams and companies.
Most software content celebrates success.
Prodopsy studies failure.
Because real engineering knowledge only appears when systems are under pressure.
What We Do
Prodopsy analyzes real-world production incidents and breaks them down from an engineering perspective.
Each article focuses on:
Identifying the true root cause of the failure
Questioning architectural and design decisions
Exposing scalability, data loss, security, and performance implications
Clearly showing the difference between experienced engineering decisions and naive approaches
The content is not theoretical.
Everything is based on real systems, real failures, and real consequences.
Why Prodopsy Exists
Production failures are often misunderstood.
What looks like a “small bug” is usually the result of:
Incorrect architectural assumptions
Poor capacity planning
Ignored edge cases
Organizational and process-level decisions
Prodopsy does not focus on the error itself.
It focuses on the path that led to the error.
How We Write
Prodopsy content follows a strict analysis structure.
Each case:
Is summarized clearly
Has its root cause exposed
Explains why the issue appears in real systems
Evaluates real-world impact
Shows how experienced engineers address the problem
Explains why less experienced teams often miss it
The goal is not to teach step-by-step instructions.
The goal is to force awareness.
Who This Is For
Prodopsy is not for everyone.
This platform is built for:
Engineers responsible for production systems
Technical leaders making real architectural decisions
Developers who have not yet paid the full price of production failures — but eventually will
If you are looking for quick tips, surface-level tutorials, or motivational content, this platform is not for you.
Our Position
Prodopsy:
Does not glorify success
Does not hide failure
Does not soften technical reality
The goal is simple:
To help engineers build systems that fail less catastrophically.
Production failures are inevitable.
Repeating the same ones is not.
