Episode notes
High Velocity, Minimal Downtime
- Stripe deploys roughly 1,400 times per day and reported under one minute of total downtime for the year.
- That high deployment velocity coexists with extremely high reliability due to focused investments in infrastructure.

- Humans remain essential for final review and edge-case decisions in risk determinations.
