Tradeoffs on the road to observability
SRE and infrastructure engineering are about allocating adequate time to do project work that improves the long-term sustainability of our services. But what do we reward SREs for doing? Does your company have a culture of "not invented here" or the converse of "ask the consultants to design it for us"?
Improving Reliability with Error Budgets and Site Reliability Engineering
Reliability is a critical feature of most software, and maintenance rather than initial development predominates the cost of software. Yet, a large number of development teams treat operations as an afterthought instead of integrating operations into their development processes.

The journey to thoroughly understanding your systems.
Using observability to detangle and understand production
When using tens or hundreds of microservices to provide an application's critical functionality, diagnosing what interaction between components is causing an outage can be challenging.
