I agree wholeheartedly with the great comments others have made and you shouldn't beat yourself up about it.

You prove yourself when times are tough, and you'll only suffer permanent reputational damage if you try to hide the error, blame-shift or leave the mess for others to clean up.

A strong developer is worth his weight in gold when he/she can own up to errors, positively contribute to the solution and then take real steps to prevent a repeat.
