The Hidden Currency of Tech Leadership: The Resilience Loop

The Resilience Loop: Building Systems That Learn

I've spent the last decade building resilient systems — real-time pipelines processing millions of records, SaaS platforms serving hundreds of thousands of VMs, tax tech handling billions in filings.

The pattern is always the same: Speed gets you to market. Innovation gets you noticed. But resilience keeps you alive long enough to matter.

I just launched a 3-part series breaking down the framework that reduced our alerts by 90% while maintaining zero SLA violations.

The Five Loops:

  1. Prevention → Design for failure before it happens
  2. Detection → See the invisible early
  3. Reaction → Bias to action under pressure
  4. Analysis → Learn at the speed of truth
  5. Action → Close the loop

Each phase is a constraint. Miss one, the cycle breaks.
