Learning from incidents \u2013 Formula 1<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

The incident: a formula 1 car hit the side barrier just over 20 minutes before the race was about to start. The team sprang into action with an incredibly calm, orderly and speedy incident response to replace the damaged parts faster than they ever have before.<\/p>\n

This article is a great analysis, and there\u2019s also an excellent 8-minute video that I highly recommend. Listen to\u00a0the way the sporting director and everyone else communicates so calmly. It\u2019s a rare treat to get video footage of a production incident like this.<\/p>\n

The author of this article shows us how they communicate actively, perform incident retrospectives, and even discuss \u201cnear misses\u201d and normal work in order to better learn how their system works \u2014 all skills that apply directly to SRE.<\/p>\n

The Unique Reliability Engineering Requirements of Microservices<\/a><\/div>\n

Although the fundamental concepts of site reliability engineering are the same in any environment, SREs must adapt practices to different technologies, like microservices.<\/p>\n

Lorin Hochstein (Netflix) [StaffEng Podcast]<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

This episode of the StaffEng Podcast is an interview with Lorin Hochstein, whose writings I\u2019ve featured here numerous times. My favorite part of this episode is when they talk about doing incident analysis for near misses. One of the hosts points out that it\u2019s much easier for folks to talk about what happened, because there was no incident so they\u2019re not worried about being blamed.<\/p>\n
