Site Reliability

SRE vs DevOps: What’s the Difference SRE and DevOps are common terms in tech teams. They both aim to ship software faster and with fewer problems. Yet they come from different ideas. SRE treats reliability as a product feature and uses engineering and data to improve it. DevOps emphasizes culture and collaboration, and it helps teams push code from idea to live service. Understanding the difference helps teams pick the right practices without slowing down delivery. ...

DevOps Metrics: Measuring What Matters Measuring the right things helps teams learn faster and deliver value. In practice, good metrics guide decisions without slowing work down. Too often, teams chase vanity stats like lines of code or page views. Those numbers rarely show how work flows or how customers experience the product. To make metrics useful, start with a small, repeatable set that reflects flow, stability, and outcomes. A balanced trio is delivery performance, system reliability, and learning from incidents. ...

Cloud Infrastructure Design: Reliability and Cost Cloud infrastructure design focuses on two big goals: reliability and cost. A practical plan keeps services up and fast, while staying within budget. Clear choices start with what users expect and what the service can guarantee. Use simple, repeatable patterns to reduce surprises when traffic changes or failures happen. Start with clear goals. Define SLOs (service level objectives) and an acceptable error budget. These ideas guide what to build and when to invest in extra protection. When teams agree on these targets, architecture decisions become easier and more transparent. ...
