Hot Takes on Code Freezes<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

There are way too many gorgeous, mind-blowing ways for incidents to occur without a single change to code being deployed.<\/p>\n

That last hot take is the kicker: even if you don\u2019t do a code freeze in December (in the US), you\u2019ll still see a lot of the same pitfalls as you would have if you did.<\/p>\n

Ah, IaC, the tool we use to machine-gun our feet in a highly-available manner at scale. This analysis of an incident from back in August tells what happened and what they learned.<\/p>\n

The ROAD to SRE<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

By establishing a set of core principles (Response, Observability, Availability and Delivery) aka our \u201cROAD to SRE\u201d, we now have clarity on what areas we expect our SRE team should be focusing on and avoiding a common pitfall of becoming another platform or Ops team.<\/p>\n

In this blog post, we\u2019ll look at:<\/p>\n

The advantages of an SRE team where each member is a specialist.
\nSome SRE specialist roles and how they help.<\/p>\n

Day 22 \u2013 So, You\u2019re Incident Commander, Now What?<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

This article covers what to do as an incident commander, how to handle long-running incidents, and how to do a post-incident review.<\/p>\n

Plato\u2019s Dashboards<\/a><\/div>\n

So in this post I\u2019m going to go over what makes a good metric, why data aggregation on its own loses resolution and messy details that are often critical to improvements, and that good uses of metrics are visible by their ability to assist changes and adjustments.<\/p>\n
