You just got tricked by this dishonest article. The whole section that mentions dogfooding is only about actual updates to the kernel driver. This was not a kernel driver update, the entire section is irrelevant.

This was a "content file", and the first time it was interpreted by the kernel driver was when it was pushed to customer production systems worldwide. There was no testing of any sort.

All these people claiming they didn’t have canaries. They actually did but people are in denial that they are the canary for crowdstrike lol
It's worse than that -- if your strategy actually was to use the customer fleet as QA and monitoring, then it probably wouldn't take you an hour and a half to notice that the fleet was exploding and withdraw the update, as it did here. There was simply no QA anywhere.
