Mean Time To SRE: A DevOps story from adidas
summary
Adidas moves from platform-led DevOps to an SRE model that focuses on production, observability and end-to-end value streams; a small SRE pilot scaled to org and SRE teams embed with product teams, run a 24/7 critical-incident war room chat, build internal tooling for feature flags and releases, and measure MTTD/MTTR plus business SLIs; results show fewer slow-burning cross-team incidents and better release safety at massive scale — peaks of 25,000 orders per minute and 2 million requests per second.
