SRE, Myths vs Realities
summary
Explains how Site Reliability Engineering practices from Google can be adapted for smaller organizations, focusing on concrete measures rather than myths. Covers using the four golden signals (errors, traffic, saturation, latency) for alerts, mapping SLOs/SLIs to customer contracts to quantify business risk, and capacity planning by injecting twice production load and measuring time-to-failure to obtain a six-month remediation window. Also describes building observability stacks (Grafana/Elastic-style) and automation to reduce on-call wake-ups while keeping developers responsible.
