\n

The lessons:<\/p>\n

Acknowledge human error as a given and aim to compensate for it
\nConduct blameless post-mortems
\nAvoid the \u201cdeadly embrace\u201d
\nFavor decentralized IT architectures<\/p>\n

There have been quite a few of these \u201clessons learned\u201d articles that I\u2019ve passed over, but I feel like this one is worth reading.<\/p>\n

SRE top interview questions to land an SRE role<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

It\u2019s a great list of questions, and it covers a lot of ground. SREs wear many hats.<\/p>\n

\n
How Time Series Databases Work\u2014and Where They Don\u2019t<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

I\u2019ve always been curious about how Prometheus and similar time-series DBs compress metric data. Now I know!<\/p>\n

Alex Vondrak \u2014 Honeycomb<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
An UPDATE without a WHERE, or something close to it<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

This one has some unconfirmed (but totally plausible!) deeper details about what might have gone wrong in the Facebook outage, sourced from rumors.<\/p>\n

\n
Turning Safety vs. Profits Into a Fair Fight<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

There\u2019s a really intriguing discussion in here about why organizations might justify a choice of profit at the expense of safety, and how the deck is stacked.<\/p>\n
