What happens when you ask a software engineer to design an operations team? You get site reliability engineering (SRE), a practice designed to keep IT systems and applications humming as efficiently and predictably as possible. Rod Anami and Gregory Pruett share their thoughts on how deploying SRE at scale can help boost application dependability, reduce downtime and support business growth. They also provide steps for you to start your own SRE program. Read their article here: https://lnkd.in/e5RxE5ds #Devops #SRE #Monitoring

Software engineering leaders often struggle to assess and prioritize product reliability, leading to a lack of focus on Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). The recommendations include using system-level indicators and service-level objectives for data-driven decisions, making reliability a shared priority, and integrating SRE practices. The strategic planning assumption predicts that by 2027, 75% of enterprises will adopt SRE practices organization-wide. The research emphasizes the importance of the partnership between software engineering leaders and site reliability engineers in improving product reliability.

Is your software engineering team bogged down with incidents, slow and painful release cycles, and tons of manual tasks? Are customers beginning to notice and getting frustrated? You might be curious about Site Reliability Engineering as a way to address these issues, but perhaps you don’t have the budget to hire an entire team or department to implement it like larger tech companies. Don’t let that stop you! Join us on Thursday, April 11th, 2024 at 2PM ET (11AM PT) to attend a FREE webinar ‘Lean SRE’ where we discuss implementing Site Reliability Engineering practices quickly and effectively without a huge staffing investment!

If you think you are Agile with a capital A and proud of your velocity but have not put any effort to implement Site Reliability Engineering in your systems (automated monitoring, fault tolerance, scalability, and performance adjustments etc.) than you are Agile only in principle but not in practice. It is alright to take some hit on velocity in the short run if you do not want it to come to a complete halt when there is an outage in production. #SRE #DevOps #DevSecOps 

Lately I've been noticing how little of my work as an SRE is around actually hardening our product infrastructure. I almost never personally add redundancy to a service or eliminate a source of downtime. Ultimately, the primary source of system instability is process and lack of information: people aren't aware of when they're introducing unstable or unsafe architectures, they don't have the tools to verify whether their service is failing, or your application is set up so that designing stable features is difficult and time consuming. None of these are things an SRE can fix by personally making code or cloud configs more reliable. The only way to sustainably improve site reliability at an organization is to build systems and processes that make it easy to see when services are failing and easy to write services that don't. That looks like monitoring, training, internal tooling, and patterns to follow that make it difficult to build services that aren't reliable. It looks like getting buy-in from product so they understand their product's performance and are working with you and their team to keep it high. I've worked at organizations where one brilliant engineer stepped in to clean up each service's stability personally. Those organizations ground to a halt when that engineer wasn't available, and that engineer was actively making their team less efficient. Software is about building levers. If you always insist on personally being the lever, eventually you're going to snap in half. #sre #devops #engineering #process #leadership

The latest blog from Resolve Systems is out, covering site reliability engineering (SRE) with a fresh perspective. Some might say SRE is the hottest new topic that’s gaining momentum and growing in importance by the minute. But really, Google made SRE a thing back in 2003. So — you might ask — what’s the most relevant info on SRE that IT teams need to know today, as well as we approach 2024? From properly interpreting the relationship between DevOps and SRE and Ops, to fully understanding what they truly have to do with each other, and more, our engineering expert John Gorham takes you deep into the world of SRE as it applies to IT teams. https://lnkd.in/gGFUGKuu #sre #sitereliabilityengineering
